人体工程学和可视化的便利性在牙髓治疗的有效性中起着重要作用。仅使用商业现成的组件，我们提出了牙髓镜-一个紧凑的，手持的，无线牙科器械的原型牙髓腔成像。该仪器解决了当前用于根管手术的牙髓显微镜存在的职业损伤、尺寸和成本的限制。利用15，000相干，成像光纤束沿着与集成照明源和无线CMOS传感器，我们展示了各种牙齿的图像，分辨率为，视角为70度。
Ergonomics and ease of visualization play a major role in the effectiveness of endodontic therapy. Using only commercial off-the-shelf components, we present the pulpascope—a prototype of a compact, handheld, wireless dental instrument for pulp cavity imaging. This instrument addresses the current limitations of occupational injuries, size, and cost that exist with current endodontic microscopes used for root canal procedures. Utilizing a 15,000 coherent, imaging fiber bundle along with an integrated illumination source and wireless CMOS sensor, we demonstrate images of various teeth with resolution ofand angular field-of-view of 70 deg.
