What are the future development directions and stages of fluorescence endoscopy

The future development directions and stages of fluorescence endoscopy may include:

1. High resolution and 3D imaging.

As technology advances, the resolution and 3D imaging capabilities of endoscopes will continue to improve, allowing for more precise observation of lesion details to aid clinical diagnosis and surgery.2. New fluorescent probes and data analysis.

New fluorescent probes will continue to emerge, allowing not only the observation of changes in blood flow dynamics but also the labeling of tumors and inflammatory stimuli to help clinicians determine the nature, extent and activity of lesions. Big data and AI technology will also accelerate the analysis of fluorescent images.3. Combination with other imaging techniques.

Fluorescence endoscopy will be combined with CT, MRI and other structural imaging techniques to achieve pairing of function and structure and obtain more comprehensive and accurate information about lesions. This will help in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers and other diseases.4. Molecular imaging and genetic diagnosis.

Targeted fluorescent molecular probes can be used to monitor key biological processes in the body to achieve non-invasive imaging at the molecular level. This enables early diagnosis and genetic diagnosis of diseases, providing clinicians with more personalized treatment options.5. Surgical navigation and robotics.

Fluorescence imaging can provide real-time navigation for minimally invasive surgical devices such as robots to make surgical operations more precise. Robotic technology also enables endoscopic surgery to achieve higher levels of precision and minimally invasiveness.In summary, the future direction of development of medical fluorescence endoscopy will be towards high definition, precision, multi-functionality and intelligence. It will combine with more medical technologies to achieve early diagnosis, personalized treatment and precise surgical navigation, thus fundamentally changing the mode of endoscopic diagnosis and treatment as well as the clinical decision-making process. This will promote the progress of medical imaging and endoscopy.
