摘要:
The invention relates to an electronic polarimetric imaging system use in a colposcopy device for in vivo monitoring a cervix, which is provided with a light source for illuminating the observable cervix and at least visual means for monitoring said cervix, wherein the illumination optical path directed to the cervix and the image optical path coming back from the cervix are separated from each other on at least a portion of the paths thereof. The inventive system comprises a polarimetric adapter housing which is removable in the separated portion of the illumination and image optical paths and comprises a polarization state generator (PSG) positioned on the illumination optical path and a polarization analyser (PSA) positioned on the image optical path, wherein said polarization state generator (PSG) and polarization analyser (PSA) are designed in such a way that they are controllable. Said invention makes it possible to obtain several polarimetric characterisation levels. The adapter housing is also disclosed.
摘要:
An electronic polarimetric imaging system for a colposcopy device designed for in vivo observation of a cervix, wherein the colposcopy device includes a light source for illuminating the observable cervix and at least visual elements for monitoring an image of the cervix, the illumination optical path towards the cervix and the image optical path coming back from the cervix being separated from one another over at least one portion of the paths thereof. The system includes a polarimetric adapter housing which is removable into the separated portion of the illumination and image optical paths, the polarimetric adapter housing including a polarisation state generator (PSG) on the illumination optical path and a polarisation analyser (PSA) on the image optical path, wherein the polarisation state generator (PSG) and the polarisation analyser (PSA) are controllable. Several levels of polarimetric characterisation are possible. An adaptor housing is also disclosed.
