Applications of Optical Fiber Diagnostic Technologies
Endoscopic Examination: Utilize optical fibers to transmit images, enabling the visualization of tiny lesions within the body. For example, by inserting an optical fiber endoscope into the body's cavities or blood vessels, doctors can observe the internal conditions through the images transmitted by the optical fiber, assisting in disease diagnosis.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Based on the principle of low-coherence light interference, it obtains high-resolution tomographic images of the internal structure of biological tissues. It is commonly used for non-invasive and high-resolution imaging of the eye structures such as the retina and cornea. It can also detect skin diseases like skin cancer and dermatitis, providing microscopic structural information of the skin tissue.
Spectral Diagnosis: It includes fluorescence spectral diagnosis and Raman spectral diagnosis. Fluorescence spectral diagnosis uses the fluorescence characteristics of substances excited by light of specific wavelengths for disease diagnosis; Raman spectral diagnosis is based on the principle of Raman scattering to analyze the molecular vibration information of substances, which is used for disease diagnosis and the analysis of substance composition. By analyzing the differences between tumor tissues and normal tissues through these spectra, it helps in the early detection of cancer.
Photoacoustic Imaging: Using the photoacoustic effect, it converts optical signals into acoustic signals for imaging, which is used for the detection of the internal structure of biological tissues.
Applications of Optical Fiber Treatment Technologies
Laser Treatment: Transmit laser energy through optical fibers to excise, vaporize, or coagulate the diseased tissues to achieve the therapeutic purpose. For example, in surgery, optical fibers can guide the laser for tumor resection, hemostasis, and other operations, improving the precision and safety of the surgery.
Photodynamic Therapy: Combine photosensitizers with lasers, and activate the photosensitizers through the transmission of optical fibers to selectively destroy the diseased tissues. This method has been widely applied in fields such as dermatology, gynecology, and urology, and has significant curative effects on early-stage cancers and benign tumors.
Optical Fiber Hyperthermia Technology: Use optical fibers to transmit heat energy to the diseased tissues, increasing the local temperature to achieve the therapeutic purpose. It is suitable for treating malignant tumors, relieving pain, promoting blood circulation, etc., and has the advantages of being safe, non-invasive, and having a fast recovery.
Optical Fiber Minimally Invasive Surgery: Conduct minimally invasive surgery with the help of optical fibers, reducing surgical trauma and complications, and accelerating the patient's recovery. In addition, drugs can be directly delivered to the diseased site through optical fibers, increasing the drug concentration and therapeutic effect, and reducing side effects.
Applications of Optical Fiber Sensors in Medical Monitoring
Physiological Parameter Monitoring: Develop various optical fiber sensors for real-time monitoring of patients' physiological parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen saturation. These sensors have the characteristics of good biocompatibility, high sensitivity, resistance to electromagnetic interference, distributed detection, small size, and high reliability.
Drug Concentration Monitoring: Optical fiber sensors can be applied to the real-time monitoring of drug concentrations. By measuring the interaction between drugs and specific optical signals, they help doctors adjust the dosage of drugs, and have broad application prospects in fields such as intensive care and anesthesia monitoring.
Implantable Sensors and Remote Monitoring: Optical fiber sensors can be implanted into the patient's body to achieve long-term and continuous monitoring of physiological parameters. The remote monitoring system uses the data collected by the optical fiber sensors to achieve remote diagnosis and treatment of patients.
Applications of Optical Fiber Communication Technologies in Telemedicine
Remote Consultation System: The remote consultation system based on optical fiber communication technology usually adopts a distributed architecture, including parts such as the medical expert terminal, the patient terminal, and the data center. Medical experts can view the patient's medical records, medical images, and other information in real time through this system, and conduct high-definition video calls with the patients to provide timely and accurate diagnostic suggestions.
Medical Image Transmission and Storage: Adopt optical fiber communication technology to achieve high-speed and lossless transmission of medical images, ensuring that doctors can obtain clear and accurate image data, improving the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis. At the same time, by constructing a large-scale optical fiber storage network, the centralized storage and sharing of medical images are realized, making it convenient for doctors to access and compare image data at different time points at any time.
Real-time Voice and Video Communication: The real-time voice and video communication technology based on optical fiber communication technology realizes high-definition and smooth communication between medical experts and patients, improving the interactivity and practicality of telemedicine. In order to ensure the call quality, advanced codec technologies, network transmission technologies, and audio and video processing technologies need to be adopted.
Applications of All-Optical Networks in Hospital Informatization Construction
Huawei F5G All-Optical Hospital Solution: Based on POL (Passive Optical LAN) technology, optical fibers reach directly to multiple scenarios such as wards, offices, and CT rooms. The optical network unit (ONU) at the terminal supports the access of multiple services, providing a 10-gigabit dedicated line for CT image backhaul, enabling the images to be uploaded to the cloud within seconds and improving the efficiency of image reading. At the same time, it naturally supports the TDM hard pipeline, realizing the integration of the external network, the internal network, and the equipment network, ensuring the information security of the hospital network and greatly improving the operation and maintenance efficiency.
All-Optical Network FTTN Solution: In scenarios such as community clinics, FTTN (Fiber to the Node) realizes high-speed and stable data transmission by laying optical fibers to the network nodes and then connecting to the end users with copper cables over a short distance. It meets the high-speed transmission requirements of medical data. Through a flexible networking method, it provides strong support for the informatization construction of clinics, improves the diagnosis and treatment efficiency, and reduces the operation and maintenance costs and difficulties.
