The stomach is uncomfortable, the gastroscope is difficult to bear, the accuracy of the capsule gastroscope is difficult to protect, many patients are distressed, and missed the best time to regain a good stomach. Yesterday, the reporter learned from the 2010 Shanghai High-end Equipment Manufacturing Technology Innovation Forum that Shanghai University of Technology is developing the world's first capsule gastroscope with positioning function, which is expected to reduce the pain of gastroscope diagnosis and reduce the misdiagnosis rate of ordinary capsule gastroscopy. The results will enter clinical trials in March next year.
Gastric cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in China, but many people are discouraged from gastroscopy. According to the survey, more than half of people with stomach discomfort are afraid of endoscopy.
Fortunately, a "smart capsule digestive endoscopy system", also known as "medical wireless endoscopy", has been accepted more and more clinically. Without anesthesia, the patient can complete a gastroscopy by taking a small "capsule", which is a capsule gastroscope. The front end of the capsule endoscope is a transparent ball with a miniature digital video camera and multiple flash units for clear photos in the dark digestive tract. However, the capsule gastroscope sometimes makes mistakes - there is no photo taken at the lesion, and a lot of "waste tablets" in the health department are taken.
In 2008, Zhuang Songlin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a professor at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, led the research team to develop a capsule gastroscope with positioning function. The researchers developed a "test bed" like this CT scanner, allowing patients to swallow "capsules" and then lie down, through the external magnetic field control, guide the "capsule gastroscope" to the lesions in the body, suspending "standing". Then, the examiner controls the size and direction of the magnetic field, so that the "capsule gastroscope" has a "angle of view" of six angles such as looking up, overlooking, and rotating, and fully focusing on what is different in the digestive system.
At present, the world's first positionable capsule gastroscope has completed two animal experiments. Tests have shown that the surrounding magnetic field strength is below 50 gauss, which fully complies with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) control standards for magnetic field strength of medical devices. Academician Zhuang said that if all goes well, Shanghai can establish a capsule-capable gastroscope that is expected to enter clinical use in the following year.
