IMAGE DETECTION SYSTEM FOR DIAGNOSING PHYSIOLOGIC STATUS OF ORGAN HAVING FLUORESCENT MATTER
First Claim
1. An image detection system, comprising:
- a source that emits exciting light;
a scan unit that converts the exciting light into a scan of the exciting light;
a light-guiding unit including an object lens, the object lens guiding the scan of the exciting light into a tissue having a fluorescent matter such that the fluorescent matter in the tissue is excited by the scan of the exciting light and emits fluorescence light, whereby a layer of the tissue is scanned by the scan of the exciting light;
a detection unit that detects and processes the fluorescence light emitted by the tissue, so as to generate a fluorescent image of the layer of the tissue; and
a splitter unit that directs the scan of the exciting light to the object lens so as to enter the tissue, and further directs the fluorescence light emitted by the tissue to the detection unit such that the fluorescent image of the layer of the tissue is generated by the detection unit.

Abstract
An image detection system for diagnosing a metabolic function and physiological status of a tissue or an organ having a fluorescent matter is provided. The image detection system includes a source emitting exciting light, a scan unit converting the exciting light into a scan of the exciting light, a light-guiding unit including an object lens, a splitter unit, and a detection unit. The splitter unit directs the scan of the exciting light to enter a tissue having a fluorescent matter such that the fluorescent matter in the tissue is excited by the scan of the exciting light and emits fluorescence light, whereby a layer of the tissue is scanned by the scan of the exciting light. The splitter unit directs the fluorescence light emitted from the tissue to the detection unit for processing so as to generate a fluorescent image of the layer of the tissue.

9. An image detection system, comprising:
-
a source that emits exciting light; a scan unit that converts the exciting light into a scan of the exciting light; a light-guiding unit including an object lens, the object lens guiding the scan of the exciting light into a tissue having a fluorescent matter such that the fluorescent matter in the tissue is excited by the scan of the exciting light and emits fluorescence light, whereby a layer of the tissue is scanned by the scan of the exciting light; a detection unit that detects and processes the fluorescence light emitted by the tissue, so as to generate a fluorescent image of the one layer of the tissue; and a splitter unit that directs the exciting light to the scan unit such that the exciting light is converted into the scan of the exciting light by the scan unit, and further directs the fluorescence light emitted by the tissue to the detection unit after the scan of the exciting light enters the tissue via the object lens, such that the fluorescent image of the layer of the tissue is generated by the detection unit. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
