DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Project Summary/Abstract The proposed fast track effort is aimed at integrating InterScience's C-View imaging technology, capable of providing an uninhibited 240 degree vertical and 360 degree panoramic field of view to a single image plane, with distal sensor technology, an innovative illumination scheme and semi-rigid endoscope packaging. The C-View semi- rigid scope is broadly applicable to urological procedures, laparoscopy and endoscopic general surgery. In urology specifically, this technology will not only enhance the visualization of the entire bladder and urethra, but will also aid most urologic endoscopic procedures such as bladder biopsies and fulguration, intubation of ureteral orifaces for retrograde pyelograms or passage of wires, intra-vesical injections and trans-urethral resections. Using this innovative technology, inspecting the bladder, photographing bladder lesions and other disease processes will aid in future surveillance with more a precise location of prior therapy. The all viewing, single field of view minimizes procedure time and discomfort to the patient by eliminating intra-procedural swapping of various angled scopes and/or manipulation of the flexible scope tip, all while ensuring procedure thoroughness. The overall design of the proposed scope is a tremendous advance in endoscope technology, taking advantage of state of the art in optical design, optical component manufacturing, imaging sensors and illumination technology. This application is being pursued through fast-track based on the highly commercial nature of the technology and the impact on minimally invasive surgery applications. In an effort to streamline the research and development process of the C-View semi-rigid endoscope, the Phase I effort is designed to provide a design, testing, and benchtop demonstration foundation for the continued development effort of Phase II and the commercialization beyond. The overall objective of the proposed Phase II effort is to advance the development of the C-View endoscope through the integration and assembly of working prototypes and cadaver model testing, based on the foundation established in Phase I. Project Narrative The C-View semi-rigid scope is specifically applicable to bladder cancer surveillance, but also will provide benefits more broadly to urological procedures, laparoscopy and endoscopic general surgery. The unprecedented ultra-wide field of view of this C-View semi-rigid endoscope would greatly improve image consistency, and procedure thoroughness while minimizing procedure time.

描述(由申请人提供)： 项目摘要/摘要 拟议的快速通道努力旨在将InterScience的C-View成像技术与远端传感器技术、创新的照明方案和半刚性内窥镜包装相结合，能够为单一图像平面提供不受限制的240度垂直和360度全景视野。C-View半刚性范围广泛适用于泌尿外科手术、腹腔镜和内窥镜普通外科手术。特别是在泌尿外科方面，这项技术不仅将增强整个膀胱和尿路的可视化，而且还将帮助大多数泌尿内窥镜手术，如膀胱活检和电灼术、为逆行肾盂造影术或电线通过的输尿管插管、膀胱内注射和经尿道切除。使用这项创新技术，检查膀胱、拍摄膀胱病变和其他疾病过程将有助于未来的监测，从而更准确地定位先前的治疗。全视角、单视野通过避免在手术中调换各种角度的镜片和/或操作灵活的镜头，将手术时间和患者的不适感降至最低，同时确保了手术的彻底性。建议中的内窥镜的总体设计是内窥镜技术的巨大进步，利用了光学设计、光学元件制造、成像传感器和照明技术的最先进技术。基于该技术的高度商业性质及其对微创外科应用的影响，这一应用正在通过Fast-Track进行。为了简化C-View半刚性内窥镜的研发流程，第一阶段的工作旨在为第二阶段的继续开发工作和以后的商业化提供设计、测试和台式演示基础。拟议第二阶段工作的总体目标是在第一阶段建立的基础上，通过整合和组装工作原型和身体模型测试来推进C-View内窥镜的开发。 项目叙事 C-View半刚性范围特别适用于膀胱癌监测，但也将更广泛地适用于泌尿外科程序、腹腔镜和内窥镜普通外科手术。这种C-View半刚性内窥镜前所未有的超宽视野将极大地提高图像的一致性和手术的彻底性，同时将手术时间降至最低。
