🧠 Module 2: Components of a Flexible Endoscope System

🔧 1. Overview of Key Components

Flexible endoscopy systems are composed of interconnected parts that function together to enable minimally invasive diagnostics and interventions.

📍 1. Insertion Tube & Bending Section

• Insertion Tube: This long, flexible shaft is introduced into the patient. It houses working channels, light fibers, and camera wiring.

• Bending Section: Located at the distal tip, this segment is controlled by the operator for navigating complex anatomy. Controlled via a knob on the control body, it allows deflection in multiple directions.

🎮 2. Control Body

• The central interface for the operator.

• Includes angulation control knobs, suction/air/water buttons, and working channel ports.

• Ergonomic design allows precise control even during prolonged procedures.

💡 3. Light Guide System & Image Sensor

• The light guide carries illumination from an external light source (usually LED or xenon) to the tip.

• The camera or image sensor (typically CMOS/CCD chip) captures the internal image and transmits it to the monitor via the video processor.

📺 4. Video Processor & Light Source

• The video processor receives the signal from the image sensor and renders a real-time image on the medical monitor.

• The light source unit delivers bright and stable illumination. Some systems combine both into one compact tower.

🛠️ 5. Endoscopic Accessories

• Flexible scopes support working channels for accessory tools:

  • Biopsy forceps

  • Polypectomy snares/loops

  • Foreign body retrieval tools

  • Distal caps for stability or EMR procedures

The accessory compatibility determines the range of clinical procedures the scope can perform.

❓ FAQs x 5 (English + Myanmar in one line)

1. What is the purpose of the bending section? – Bending Section ရဲ့ တာဝန်ကဘာလဲ?
   → It helps navigate internal anatomy easily – မျက်နှာပြင်အတွင်းသို့ လွယ်ကူစွာဝင်ရောက်နိုင်အောင် ထောက်ပံ့ပေးသည်။

2. Why is the control body important? – Control Body ဘာကြောင့်အရေးကြီးလဲ?
   → It manages all functions like angulation, suction – နားလည်မှု၊ စုပ်ခြင်း စသည့် လုပ်ဆောင်ချက်အားလုံးကို ထိန်းချုပ်သည်။

3. Where is the image captured in a flexible scope? – မျက်နှာပြင်ပုံဖမ်းရာနေရာက ဘယ်မှာလဲ?
   → At the tip by a CCD/CMOS chip – Scope နောက်ဆုံးအစိတ်အပိုင်းမှ CMOS သို့မဟုတ် CCD chip ဖြင့်။

4. What is the light guide used for? – Light Guide ကို ဘာအတွက်သုံးလဲ?
   → To transmit illumination into the body – အလင်းကို မျက်နှာပြင်အတွင်းသို့ ပေးပို့ရန်။

5. What kind of tools can go through the working channel? – Working Channel မှတစ်ဆင့် ဘယ် Tool များသွားနိုင်လဲ?
   → Biopsy, snare, caps, etc. – Tissue ယူသည့် forceps, loop, cap စသည့် tools များ။
