本发明是有关于一种病理检测装置，且特别是有关于一种口腔病理检测移动装置。The present invention relates to a pathology detection device, and in particular to an oral pathology detection mobile device.
背景技术Background Art
口腔疾病影响全球大半人口，其中严重牙周病(periodontal disease)更是非常普遍的疾病。牙周病是牙龈周边大量病菌繁殖积聚，而引起牙周组织发炎。牙周病轻微时，仅牙龈边缘发炎、牙龈萎缩、及牙根外露，牙周病病情恶化时，病菌生长会深及牙根，如此将使得牙齿因失去支撑而松动并移位，最后甚至脱落。Oral diseases affect most of the world's population, and severe periodontal disease is a very common disease. Periodontal disease is caused by the accumulation of a large number of bacteria around the gums, which causes inflammation of the periodontal tissue. When periodontal disease is mild, only the gum margins are inflamed, the gums shrink, and the tooth roots are exposed. When periodontal disease worsens, the bacteria grow deep into the tooth roots, which will cause the teeth to loosen and shift due to loss of support, and eventually even fall out.
目前，有一种量测牙周囊袋的探针，此探针的探测部呈扁平状。扁平状探针设计可让探针深入囊袋时分散对牙肉的施力，借此降低患者的疼痛感。然，量测时，需将探针深入牙周囊袋的牙齿与牙肉间，且需深入每一个颗牙齿的牙周囊袋一一进行量测，经过一段时间的量测后仍会产生无法忍受的疼痛，而令人畏惧。Currently, there is a probe for measuring periodontal pockets, and the detection part of this probe is flat. The flat probe design allows the probe to disperse the force on the gums when it penetrates into the pockets, thereby reducing the patient's pain. However, when measuring, the probe needs to be inserted into the periodontal pocket between the teeth and gums, and it is necessary to penetrate the periodontal pockets of each tooth one by one for measurement. After a period of measurement, unbearable pain will still occur, which is daunting.
另有一种可检验牙菌斑的手持装置，其设有滤光单元，可滤除发光二极管所发出的长波紫外光中的蓝光，以提高人眼对牙菌斑的辨识度，提升检验品质。此手持装置方便一般民众自行以单手手持来进行牙齿的牙菌斑检验，且让牙菌斑的人为判别变得更为容易。但，此手持装置仅可检验牙齿的表面，而并无法对牙龈进行检测，因此无法确实进行牙周疾病的评估判断。而且，此手持装置也无影像记录功能，不利于牙菌斑的标注与统计。There is also a handheld device that can test dental plaque. It is equipped with a filter unit that can filter out the blue light in the long-wave ultraviolet light emitted by the light-emitting diode to improve the human eye's recognition of dental plaque and improve the quality of the test. This handheld device is convenient for ordinary people to hold it in one hand to test dental plaque on their teeth, and it makes it easier to manually identify dental plaque. However, this handheld device can only test the surface of the teeth, but cannot detect the gums, so it is impossible to accurately evaluate and judge periodontal diseases. In addition, this handheld device does not have an image recording function, which is not conducive to the labeling and statistics of dental plaque.

具体实施方式DETAILED DESCRIPTION
关于本文中所使用的“第一”、“第二”、…等，并非特别指次序或顺位的意思，其仅为了区别以相同技术用语描述的元件或操作。The terms “first”, “second”, etc. used in this document do not particularly refer to an order or sequence, but are only used to distinguish elements or operations described with the same technical terms.
有鉴于目前的口腔检测装置仅具有检测牙齿表面的牙菌斑、或检测牙龈炎等单一功能，其中量测牙周囊袋的扁平状探针虽可分散深入囊袋时对牙肉的施力，但仍会产生无法忍受的疼痛，且检查过程需手动填写统计表单，不利于口腔检测的进行。因此，本发明在此提出一种口腔病理检测移动装置，其探测单元检测牙龈状态时无需插入牙龈间隙，而可大大减轻受检者的不舒适。此外，口腔病理检测移动装置可包含检验牙菌斑的检测单元，因此可对受检者进行较全面的口腔检测。口腔病理检测移动装置的处理器可与检测数据填入与医院的医疗信息系统及信息通讯技术系统连线，并将探测与检测数据填入同样与医院的医疗信息系统及信息通讯技术系统连线的牙周电子病历纪录表中。借此，不仅可大幅缩减检测填表时间，并有利于完善患者在检测后的治疗方案。In view of the fact that the current oral detection device only has a single function such as detecting dental plaque on the surface of teeth or detecting gingivitis, the flat probe for measuring the periodontal pocket can disperse the force applied to the gums when penetrating into the pocket, but it still causes unbearable pain, and the inspection process requires manual filling of statistical forms, which is not conducive to the conduct of oral inspection. Therefore, the present invention proposes a mobile device for oral pathology detection, wherein the detection unit does not need to be inserted into the gingival gap when detecting the gingival state, and can greatly reduce the discomfort of the subject. In addition, the mobile device for oral pathology detection can include a detection unit for detecting dental plaque, so that a more comprehensive oral inspection can be performed on the subject. The processor of the mobile device for oral pathology detection can be connected to the medical information system and information communication technology system of the hospital with the detection data, and the detection and detection data can be filled into the periodontal electronic medical record form which is also connected to the medical information system and information communication technology system of the hospital. In this way, not only can the time for filling out the test form be greatly reduced, but it is also conducive to improving the treatment plan of the patient after the test.
请参照图1与图2，其是分别绘示依照本发明的一实施方式的一种口腔病理检测移动装置的立体示意图、以及口腔病理检测移动装置于壳体拆卸后的内部装置的示意图。口腔病理检测移动装置100主要包含壳体110、探测单元120、以及处理器130。探测单元120与壳体110接合，且凸伸于壳体110的一侧。举例而言，如图1所示，探测单元120凸伸于壳体110的前侧。Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, which are respectively a three-dimensional schematic diagram of an oral pathology detection mobile device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and a schematic diagram of the internal device of the oral pathology detection mobile device after the shell is removed. The oral pathology detection mobile device 100 mainly includes a shell 110, a detection unit 120, and a processor 130. The detection unit 120 is connected to the shell 110 and protrudes from one side of the shell 110. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the detection unit 120 protrudes from the front side of the shell 110.
请一并参照图3，其中图3是绘示依照本发明的一实施方式的一种口腔病理检测移动装置的探测单元于探测时的装置示意图。探测单元120可用以检测受检者的牙齿的牙龈状态。举例而言，探测单元120可用以检测受检者是否患有牙龈炎。探测单元120主要可包含至少一个光纤束组以及至少一个接触部。在一些例子中，如图3所示，探测单元120包含六个光纤束组121～126、以及一个接触部127。接触部127用以接触受检者的牙齿140的牙龈部142。接触部127的表面可例如为硅胶。在这些例子中，接触部127为套状结构，且接触部127可套住受检者的牙齿140并覆盖牙龈部142。Please refer to FIG. 3 , which is a schematic diagram of a detection unit of a mobile device for detecting oral pathology according to an embodiment of the present invention during detection. The detection unit 120 can be used to detect the gingival state of the teeth of the subject. For example, the detection unit 120 can be used to detect whether the subject suffers from gingivitis. The detection unit 120 can mainly include at least one optical fiber bundle group and at least one contact portion. In some examples, as shown in FIG. 3 , the detection unit 120 includes six optical fiber bundle groups 121 to 126 and a contact portion 127. The contact portion 127 is used to contact the gingival portion 142 of the subject's tooth 140. The surface of the contact portion 127 can be, for example, silicone. In these examples, the contact portion 127 is a sleeve-like structure, and the contact portion 127 can cover the subject's tooth 140 and the gingival portion 142.
如图3所示，这6组光纤束组121～126的中后段可利用软管128予以收束整合，而光纤束组121～126的前段可分开而各自移动。这6组光纤束组121～126可为多边形、圆形、或上述任意组合。这6组光纤束组121～126可均分成二部分，即光纤束组121～123与光纤束组124～126，此二部分的光纤束组121～123与光纤束组124～126分别穿设于接触部127的相对二侧127a与127b中。当接触部127套设于牙齿140上时，接触部127的此二侧127a与127b分别对应位于牙齿140的近颊侧140a与近舌侧140b。在一些示范例子中，光纤束组121～123分别邻近于牙齿140的近颊侧140a的牙龈部142的下方区域、中间区域、以及上方区域，而光纤束组124～126分别邻近于牙齿140的近舌侧140b的牙龈部142的下方区域、中间区域、以及上方区域。As shown in FIG. 3 , the middle and rear sections of the six fiber bundles 121 to 126 can be bundled and integrated by a hose 128, while the front sections of the fiber bundles 121 to 126 can be separated and moved separately. The six fiber bundles 121 to 126 can be polygonal, circular, or any combination thereof. The six fiber bundles 121 to 126 can be equally divided into two parts, namely, fiber bundles 121 to 123 and fiber bundles 124 to 126. The fiber bundles 121 to 123 and fiber bundles 124 to 126 of the two parts are respectively inserted into the two opposite sides 127a and 127b of the contact portion 127. When the contact portion 127 is sleeved on the tooth 140, the two sides 127a and 127b of the contact portion 127 are respectively located at the near buccal side 140a and the near lingual side 140b of the tooth 140. In some exemplary examples, the optical fiber bundle groups 121-123 are respectively adjacent to the lower area, middle area, and upper area of the gum portion 142 of the near buccal side 140a of the tooth 140, and the optical fiber bundle groups 124-126 are respectively adjacent to the lower area, middle area, and upper area of the gum portion 142 of the near lingual side 140b of the tooth 140.
光纤束组121包含光源光纤束121a与收光光纤束121b。同样的，光纤束组122～126分别包含光源光纤束122a～126a与收光光纤束122b～126b。光源光纤束121a～126a分别具有出光端121c～126c，其中出光端121c～126c分别位于光源光纤束121a～126a的前端。这些出光端121c～126c设于接触部127中。光源光纤束121a～126a可分别经由其出光端121c～126c对牙龈部142投射探测光。在一些示范例子中，光源光纤束121a～126a为红外线光源光纤束，而光源光纤束121a～126a对牙龈部142所投射的探测光为红外光。光源光纤束121a～126a所投射的探测光进入牙龈部142等软组织后，碰到牙龈与牙齿等不同结构会产生漫反射。红外光对于软组织的穿透性佳，有利于对牙龈部142的探测。The optical fiber bundle group 121 includes a light source optical fiber bundle 121a and a light receiving optical fiber bundle 121b. Similarly, the optical fiber bundle groups 122-126 include light source optical fiber bundles 122a-126a and light receiving optical fiber bundles 122b-126b, respectively. The light source optical fiber bundles 121a-126a respectively have light emitting ends 121c-126c, wherein the light emitting ends 121c-126c are respectively located at the front ends of the light source optical fiber bundles 121a-126a. These light emitting ends 121c-126c are disposed in the contact portion 127. The light source optical fiber bundles 121a-126a can project detection light to the gum portion 142 through their light emitting ends 121c-126c, respectively. In some exemplary examples, the light source optical fiber bundles 121a-126a are infrared light source optical fiber bundles, and the detection light projected by the light source optical fiber bundles 121a-126a to the gum portion 142 is infrared light. After the detection light projected by the light source optical fiber bundles 121a-126a enters the soft tissues such as the gums 142, it will generate diffuse reflection when it hits different structures such as gums and teeth. Infrared light has good penetration into soft tissues, which is beneficial for detecting the gums 142.
在各光纤束组121～126中，收光光纤束121b～126b分别邻设于光源光纤束121a～126a。收光光纤束121b～126b分别具有收光端121d～126d，其中收光端121d～126d分别位于收光光纤束121b～126b的前端。这些收光端121d～126d同样设于设于接触部127中。收光光纤束121b～126b可分别经由其收光端121d～126d而接收光源光纤束121a～126a所投射的探测光经牙龈部142漫反射后的漫反射光。因此，这些光纤束组121～126可形成不同的打光区域与对应这些打光区域的收光区域。在一些示范例子中，收光光纤束121b～126b与其对应的光源光纤束121a～126a之间可相隔一个预设距离，且可具有一个预设夹角。In each of the fiber bundle groups 121-126, the light receiving fiber bundles 121b-126b are respectively arranged adjacent to the light source fiber bundles 121a-126a. The light receiving fiber bundles 121b-126b respectively have light receiving ends 121d-126d, wherein the light receiving ends 121d-126d are respectively located at the front ends of the light receiving fiber bundles 121b-126b. These light receiving ends 121d-126d are also arranged in the contact portion 127. The light receiving fiber bundles 121b-126b can receive the diffusely reflected light of the detection light projected by the light source fiber bundles 121a-126a after diffuse reflection by the gum portion 142 through their light receiving ends 121d-126d. Therefore, these fiber bundle groups 121-126 can form different lighting areas and light receiving areas corresponding to these lighting areas. In some exemplary embodiments, the light-receiving optical fiber bundles 121 b - 126 b and their corresponding light-emitting optical fiber bundles 121 a - 126 a may be separated by a preset distance and may have a preset angle.
在另一些例子中，探测单元可仅包含光纤束组以及接触部。光纤束组同样包含光源光纤束与收光光纤束，其中光源光纤束的出光端与收光光纤束的收光端相邻设置于接触部中。此光纤束组可以一软管予以收束。通过将探测单元的前端接触受检者的牙齿的牙龈部的任意区域，使光源光纤束的出光端与收光光纤束的收光端邻接所接触的牙龈部的区域，即可透取得牙龈部的此区域的漫反射光。In other examples, the detection unit may only include a fiber bundle group and a contact portion. The fiber bundle group also includes a light source fiber bundle and a light receiving fiber bundle, wherein the light emitting end of the light source fiber bundle and the light receiving end of the light receiving fiber bundle are adjacently arranged in the contact portion. This fiber bundle group can be bundled by a hose. By contacting the front end of the detection unit with any area of the gum part of the subject's teeth, so that the light emitting end of the light source fiber bundle and the light receiving end of the light receiving fiber bundle are adjacent to the area of the gum part contacted, the diffuse reflected light of this area of the gum part can be obtained.
在又一些例子中，探测单元可包含多个光纤束组与多个接触部，其中光纤束组的数量与接触部的数量一致。光纤束组的光源光纤束的出光端与收光光纤束的收光端以相邻方式分别对应设于接触部中。通过将探测单元的多个接触部接触受检者的牙齿的牙龈部的多个区域，可探测而获得牙龈部的多个区域的漫反射光。In some other examples, the detection unit may include multiple fiber bundle groups and multiple contact parts, wherein the number of fiber bundle groups is the same as the number of contact parts. The light emitting end of the light source fiber bundle of the fiber bundle group and the light receiving end of the light receiving fiber bundle are respectively arranged in the contact part in an adjacent manner. By contacting the multiple contact parts of the detection unit with multiple areas of the gum part of the subject's teeth, diffuse reflected light of multiple areas of the gum part can be detected and obtained.
请继续一并参照图1与图2，处理器130设于壳体110中，并与收光光纤束121b～126b信号连接。举例而言，处理器130可通过电线或无线传输方式与收光光纤束121b～126b达成信号连接。处理器130可经由信号传输而接收各收光光纤束121b～126b所接收到的漫反射光。处理器130可进一步利用各收光光纤束121b～126b传来的漫反射光分别建立对应的光谱。处理器130还可分别根据这些光谱判断各光纤束组121～126所探测的牙龈部142的区域的状态，例如发炎状态或健康状态。举例而言，处理器130可为具有图像处理功能与演算及逻辑判断功能的中央处理单元(CPU)。Please continue to refer to Figures 1 and 2 together. The processor 130 is disposed in the housing 110 and is signal-connected to the light-receiving fiber bundles 121b~126b. For example, the processor 130 can establish a signal connection with the light-receiving fiber bundles 121b~126b through wires or wireless transmission. The processor 130 can receive the diffuse reflected light received by each light-receiving fiber bundle 121b~126b through signal transmission. The processor 130 can further use the diffuse reflected light transmitted by each light-receiving fiber bundle 121b~126b to establish a corresponding spectrum. The processor 130 can also determine the state of the area of the gum portion 142 detected by each fiber bundle group 121~126 based on these spectra, such as an inflammatory state or a healthy state. For example, the processor 130 can be a central processing unit (CPU) having image processing functions and calculation and logic judgment functions.
在一些示范例子中，处理器130可储存有牙龈漫反射光谱数据库，其中牙龈漫反射光谱数据库包含病灶特征辨识的漫反射光谱数据。在这样的例子中，处理器130可利用牙龈漫反射光谱数据库来比对这些光谱，借此判断牙龈部142的各区域的状态。In some exemplary examples, the processor 130 may store a gum diffuse reflectance spectrum database, wherein the gum diffuse reflectance spectrum database includes diffuse reflectance spectrum data for lesion feature recognition. In such an example, the processor 130 may use the gum diffuse reflectance spectrum database to compare these spectra to determine the status of each area of the gum portion 142.
在一些例子中，处理器130还可通过有线或无线传输技术与医疗信息系统及信息通信技术系统连线。在这些例子中，处理器130还可通过医疗信息系统及信息通信技术系统，而将判断出的牙龈部142的各区域的状态填入牙周电子病历纪录表中，其中牙周电子病历纪录表也同时与医疗信息系统及信息通信技术系统连线。如此一来，不仅可大幅缩减检测填表时间，并使得符合条件的病患可以参加政府给付的牙周特别照护给付对象治疗名单，进而可完善检测后的治疗方案。In some examples, the processor 130 can also be connected to the medical information system and the information and communication technology system through wired or wireless transmission technology. In these examples, the processor 130 can also fill the status of each area of the gum part 142 determined through the medical information system and the information and communication technology system into the periodontal electronic medical record form, where the periodontal electronic medical record form is also connected to the medical information system and the information and communication technology system. In this way, not only can the time for filling out the test form be greatly reduced, but also eligible patients can be included in the list of treatment recipients of the government-paid periodontal special care payment, and then the treatment plan after the test can be improved.
由于探测单元120在检测受检者的牙齿的牙龈状态时无需插入受检者的牙龈间隙中，因此可大大减轻受检者的不舒适，而可提升受检者的检查意愿，进而可有效降低口腔疾病。Since the detection unit 120 does not need to be inserted into the gingival gap of the subject when detecting the gingival condition of the subject's teeth, the discomfort of the subject can be greatly reduced, and the subject's willingness for examination can be improved, thereby effectively reducing oral diseases.
请同时参照图2与图4，其中图4是绘示依照本发明的一实施方式的一种口腔病理检测移动装置的取像镜头、光源模块、与罩体的前视示意图。在一些例子中，口腔病理检测移动装置100还可选择性地包含检测单元150。检测单元150可用以检测受检者的牙齿是否有牙菌斑。举例而言，检测单元150可用以检测受检者是否患有牙菌斑的牙周炎。Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 simultaneously, wherein FIG. 4 is a front view schematic diagram of an imaging lens, a light source module, and a cover of an oral pathology detection mobile device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some examples, the oral pathology detection mobile device 100 may also selectively include a detection unit 150. The detection unit 150 may be used to detect whether the subject's teeth have dental plaque. For example, the detection unit 150 may be used to detect whether the subject suffers from periodontitis caused by dental plaque.
检测单元150主要可包含取像镜头152、取像模块154、以及光源模块156。取像镜头152设于壳体110的一侧，例如与探测单元120均接合于壳体110的前侧，如图1所示。取像镜头152可用以取得受检者的口腔内的多个口腔影像。当受检者有牙菌斑时，这些口腔影像包含牙菌斑影像。在一些示范例子中，取像镜头152可用以对每个受检者的口腔的不同区域撷取至少五个口腔影像，以利完整判别口腔的各区域的牙齿是否具有牙菌斑。The detection unit 150 may mainly include an imaging lens 152, an imaging module 154, and a light source module 156. The imaging lens 152 is disposed on one side of the housing 110, for example, it is coupled to the front side of the housing 110 together with the detection unit 120, as shown in FIG1 . The imaging lens 152 may be used to obtain a plurality of oral images in the oral cavity of the subject. When the subject has dental plaque, these oral images include dental plaque images. In some exemplary examples, the imaging lens 152 may be used to capture at least five oral images of different areas of the oral cavity of each subject, so as to completely determine whether the teeth in each area of the oral cavity have dental plaque.
请同时参照图1与图2，取像模块154设于壳体110内，而成为嵌入式模块。取像模块154与取像镜头152信号连接。举例而言，取像模块154可通过电线等有线方式与取像镜头152达到信号连接，或者可以无线传输方式来与取像镜头152信号连接。借此，取像镜头152可将所撷取的口腔影像传送给取像模块154。取像模块154取得口腔影像后，可对这些口腔影像进行影像处理。举例而言，取像模块154可增强影像对比、对影像进行高斯均化、及/或标注牙菌斑并统计结果。在一些示范例子中，取像模块154可为互补式金氧半导体(CMOS)取像模块。Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 simultaneously. The imaging module 154 is disposed in the housing 110 and becomes an embedded module. The imaging module 154 is connected to the imaging lens 152 by signal. For example, the imaging module 154 can achieve signal connection with the imaging lens 152 by wired means such as wires, or can be connected to the imaging lens 152 by wireless transmission. In this way, the imaging lens 152 can transmit the captured oral images to the imaging module 154. After the imaging module 154 obtains the oral images, it can perform image processing on these oral images. For example, the imaging module 154 can enhance image contrast, perform Gaussian averaging on the images, and/or mark dental plaque and count the results. In some exemplary examples, the imaging module 154 can be a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) imaging module.
请继续参照图4，光源模块156邻设于取像镜头152，而可在取像镜头152撷取口腔影像时提供取像镜头152取像用的光源。光源模块156可例如环绕在取像镜头152的外围，以在取像镜头152的周边各方位提供取像镜头152更均匀的光源。在一些例子中，光源模块156包含多个第一发光二极管156a与多个第二发光二极管156b，其中这些第一发光二极管156a与第二发光二极管156b彼此交错地围绕取像镜头152。此外，这些第一发光二极管156a与第二发光二极管156b的发光波长不同，即第一发光二极管156a与第二发光二极管156b所发出的光的波长不同。在一些示范例子中，第一发光二极管156a可为紫外光发光二极管，而第二发光二极管156b为白光发光二极管。举例而言，第一发光二极管156a的发光波长可为405nm。在其他例子中，光源模块156可依需求而包含三种以上不同发光波长的光源。Continuing to refer to FIG. 4 , the light source module 156 is disposed adjacent to the imaging lens 152 and can provide a light source for the imaging lens 152 to capture an oral image when the imaging lens 152 captures an oral image. The light source module 156 can, for example, surround the periphery of the imaging lens 152 to provide the imaging lens 152 with a more uniform light source in all directions around the imaging lens 152. In some examples, the light source module 156 includes a plurality of first light emitting diodes 156a and a plurality of second light emitting diodes 156b, wherein the first light emitting diodes 156a and the second light emitting diodes 156b are staggered around the imaging lens 152. In addition, the light emission wavelengths of the first light emitting diodes 156a and the second light emitting diodes 156b are different, that is, the wavelengths of the light emitted by the first light emitting diodes 156a and the second light emitting diodes 156b are different. In some exemplary examples, the first light emitting diode 156a can be an ultraviolet light emitting diode, and the second light emitting diode 156b is a white light emitting diode. For example, the light emission wavelength of the first light emitting diode 156a can be 405nm. In other examples, the light source module 156 may include more than three light sources with different light emission wavelengths as required.
检测单元150可应用光诱导荧光定量(quantitative light-inducedfluorescence，QLF)的荧光原理来增强口腔中细菌影像。举例而言，可利用第一发光二极管156a所发出的紫外光强光来激发细菌，使细菌产生自体荧光，因此可使所撷取的口腔影像中的牙菌斑影像更加清晰。另外，通过可发出白光的第二发光二极管156b，可使取像镜头152所撷取的口腔影像为彩色影像。The detection unit 150 can apply the fluorescence principle of quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) to enhance the bacterial image in the oral cavity. For example, the strong ultraviolet light emitted by the first light-emitting diode 156a can be used to excite the bacteria, so that the bacteria produce autofluorescence, thereby making the dental plaque image in the captured oral cavity image clearer. In addition, through the second light-emitting diode 156b that can emit white light, the oral cavity image captured by the imaging lens 152 can be a color image.
请继续参照图2与图4，在一些例子中，口腔病理检测移动装置100还可选择性地包含罩体158。此罩体158环设于取像镜头152与光源模块156外，以围住取像镜头152与光源模块156、以及取像镜头152与光源模块156的前侧。罩体158可使光源模块156所发出的光集中在取像镜头152周遭，以利提升取像镜头152的口腔影像撷取效果。2 and 4 , in some examples, the oral pathology detection mobile device 100 may further selectively include a cover 158. The cover 158 is disposed around the imaging lens 152 and the light source module 156 to surround the imaging lens 152 and the light source module 156, as well as the front sides of the imaging lens 152 and the light source module 156. The cover 158 can concentrate the light emitted by the light source module 156 around the imaging lens 152, so as to improve the oral image capture effect of the imaging lens 152.
在一些例子中，取像模块154与处理器130信号连接。取像模块154可通过电线等有线方式、或者以无线传输方式来与处理器130信号连接。借此，取像模块154可将所接收的口腔影像、或经其影像处理或标注牙菌斑的口腔影像传送给处理器130。处理器130可根据所接收到的口腔影像，而判断出口腔内各牙齿的牙菌斑状态的检测结果。处理器130可进一步通过医疗信息系统及信息通信技术系统，而将牙齿的牙菌斑状态的检测结果填入牙周电子病历纪录表中。In some examples, the imaging module 154 is connected to the processor 130 by signal. The imaging module 154 can be connected to the processor 130 by wired means such as wires, or by wireless transmission. In this way, the imaging module 154 can transmit the received oral cavity image, or the oral cavity image processed or marked with dental plaque to the processor 130. The processor 130 can determine the detection result of the dental plaque state of each tooth in the oral cavity based on the received oral cavity image. The processor 130 can further fill the detection result of the dental plaque state of the tooth into the periodontal electronic medical record form through the medical information system and the information and communication technology system.
在这些例子中，藉由在口腔病理检测移动装置100中增设检验牙菌斑的检测单元150，如此可先利用检测单元150来检测受检者的牙齿是否有牙菌斑的牙周炎，再利用探测单元120来探测受检者的牙齿是否有牙龈炎。如此一来，口腔病理检测移动装置100可对受检者进行更全面的口腔检测。In these examples, by adding a detection unit 150 for detecting dental plaque in the oral pathology detection mobile device 100, the detection unit 150 can be used to first detect whether the teeth of the subject have periodontitis caused by dental plaque, and then the detection unit 120 can be used to detect whether the teeth of the subject have gingivitis. In this way, the oral pathology detection mobile device 100 can perform a more comprehensive oral examination on the subject.
请继续参照图1，在一些例子中，口腔病理检测移动装置100还可选择性地包含显示装置160。显示装置160设于壳体110的另一侧，显示装置160与取像镜头152位于壳体110的不同侧。举例而言，显示装置160与取像镜头152位于壳体110的相对二侧，其中取像镜头152位于壳体110的前侧，而显示装置160则位于壳体110的后侧。显示装置160同样可通过有线或无线传输方式与处理器130信号连接。借此，处理器130可将探测单元120所探测的各牙齿140的牙龈部142的状态、以及检测单元150所检测到的口腔影像传送给显示装置160。显示装置160接收后，即可显示各牙齿140的牙龈部142的状态、以及口腔影像，以利检测者了解受检者的各牙齿140的牙龈部142的状态、以及观看口腔影像来了解受检者的牙齿140的牙菌斑情况。在一些示范例子中，显示装置160可为触控荧幕，以利检测者操作。Please continue to refer to FIG. 1 . In some examples, the oral pathology detection mobile device 100 may further selectively include a display device 160. The display device 160 is disposed on the other side of the housing 110, and the display device 160 and the imaging lens 152 are located on different sides of the housing 110. For example, the display device 160 and the imaging lens 152 are located on two opposite sides of the housing 110, wherein the imaging lens 152 is located on the front side of the housing 110, and the display device 160 is located on the rear side of the housing 110. The display device 160 may also be connected to the processor 130 by wired or wireless transmission. In this way, the processor 130 may transmit the state of the gum portion 142 of each tooth 140 detected by the detection unit 120 and the oral image detected by the detection unit 150 to the display device 160. After receiving the information, the display device 160 can display the state of the gum portion 142 of each tooth 140 and the oral image, so that the inspector can understand the state of the gum portion 142 of each tooth 140 of the inspected person, and can understand the dental plaque of the inspected teeth 140 by viewing the oral image. In some exemplary embodiments, the display device 160 can be a touch screen to facilitate the inspector's operation.
请继续参照图1，在一些例子中，口腔病理检测移动装置100更选择性地包含手把170。手把170与壳体110接合。手把170可接合在壳体110的方便检测者拿取的一侧，以利检测者持取口腔病理检测移动装置100来进行检测。举例而言，手把170可接合在壳体110的下侧。1 , in some examples, the oral pathology detection mobile device 100 further selectively includes a handle 170. The handle 170 is coupled to the housing 110. The handle 170 may be coupled to a side of the housing 110 that is convenient for the inspector to hold the oral pathology detection mobile device 100 for detection. For example, the handle 170 may be coupled to the lower side of the housing 110.
由上述的实施方式可知，本发明的一优点就是因为本发明的口腔病理检测移动装置的探测单元是利用漫反射原理来辨识牙龈的发炎组织特征，因此检测牙龈状态时无需插入牙龈间隙，可大大减轻受检者的不舒适。From the above-mentioned embodiments, it can be seen that one advantage of the present invention is that the detection unit of the oral pathology detection mobile device of the present invention uses the principle of diffuse reflection to identify the characteristics of the inflamed tissue of the gums. Therefore, there is no need to insert into the gum gap when detecting the gum status, which can greatly reduce the discomfort of the subject.
由上述的实施方式可知，本发明的另一优点就是因为本发明的口腔病理检测移动装置可包含检验牙菌斑的检测单元，如此可先检测牙齿是否有牙菌斑的牙周炎，再进一步检测牙龈炎。因此，口腔病理检测移动装置可对受检者进行较全面的口腔检测。As can be seen from the above embodiments, another advantage of the present invention is that the oral pathology detection mobile device of the present invention can include a detection unit for detecting dental plaque, so that it can first detect whether the teeth have periodontitis caused by dental plaque, and then further detect gingivitis. Therefore, the oral pathology detection mobile device can perform a more comprehensive oral examination on the subject.
由上述的实施方式可知，本发明的又一优点就是因为本发明的口腔病理检测移动装置的处理器可与医院的医疗信息系统及信息通讯技术系统连线，并可将相关探测与检测数据填入牙周电子病历纪录表中。借此，可大幅缩减检测填表时间，并有利于完善患者在检测后的治疗方案。As can be seen from the above embodiments, another advantage of the present invention is that the processor of the oral pathology detection mobile device of the present invention can be connected to the hospital's medical information system and information communication technology system, and can fill in the relevant detection and detection data into the periodontal electronic medical record form. In this way, the time for filling out the detection form can be greatly reduced, and it is conducive to improving the patient's treatment plan after the detection.
