OPTICAL TOMOGRAPHIC IMAGING OTOSCOPE WITH INTEGRATED DISPLAY AND DIAGNOSIS

摘要

The present invention relates to an optical tomographic imaging otoscope with integrated display and diagnosis, wherein an image of the surface of an eardrum to be diagnosed, and tomographic layers of the eardrum and the state of the middle ear are imaged in real time in a non-invasive fashion, and wherein the results are displayed on the LCD of a display module. The invention comprises: a casing which has a hollow structure of a predetermined size, has an ear speculum fitted to the front surface thereof, has a display module comprising an LCD fitted to the rear surface thereof, and has an operating handle fitted to a lower part thereof; an imaging unit in which a CCD camera is provided on the inside of the casing, and which captures images of the eardrum of the patient via the ear speculum; and a tomographic imaging unit in which a collimator and a galvo mirror are provided inside the casing, and which captures images of tomographic layers of the patient's eardrum and middle ear via the ear speculum.
