Abstract

Due to the development of endoscopic technology, endoscopic diagnosis and procedures have been actively performed. However, due to the increase in colorectal cancer and the effect of government's early cancer screening project, the number of endoscopic diagnosis and procedures has increased, thus medical accidents such as perforation and bleeding are increasing. Therefore, efforts to reduce such medical accidents are needed. In this paper, we propose a method to provide the direction information of the endoscope and the force applied to the probe in real time. We also propose and evaluate an interpolated complementary filter considering the very slow movement of the endoscope probe. The proposed interpolated complementary filter showed 34.6% and 27.6% performance improvement. The expected user interface for applying the proposed method to the endoscopic system is also presented. This shows that the proposed method is applicable to endoscopy system.

내시경기술의 발달로 인하여 내시경을 이용한 진단 및 시술이 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 대장암의 증가와 정부의 암 조기검진사업의 영향으로 내시경진단 및 시술건수가 늘어나면서 천공 및 출혈 등 의료사고가 늘어나고 있다. 따라서 이러한 의료사고를 줄이기 위한 노력이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 내시경 선단부의 방향정보와 선단부에 가해지는 힘을 실시간으로 제공하는 방법을 제시한다. 또한 내시경 시술시 선단부의 움직임이 매우 느린 것을 고려한 보간 상보필터를 제안하고 평가한다. 제안한 필터는 34.6%와 27.6% 성능개선 효과를 보였다. 제안한 방법을 내시경시스템에 적용 시 예상되는 사용자 인터페이스도 함께 제시한다. 이를 통해 제안방법이 내시경시스템에 적용 가능함을 보였다.
