3D Performance Testing Solution for Medical Endoscope Imaging Systems

Currently, 3D medical endoscopes are widely used in urology, gynecology, cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery, and other surgical fields, helping doctors accurately identify anatomical structures, improve surgical precision and safety, and reduce trauma and complications. In medical research, 3D endoscopic technology provides more intuitive and detailed observation methods, supporting advancements in precision medicine.
In recent years, China's 3D medical endoscope technology has made breakthrough progress, with some products reaching international standards. Domestic companies such as Tuge Medical, Mindray, Opmandy, and Boshi Medical have launched innovative 3D, 4K, and fluorescence fusion endoscopes, covering gastrointestinal, respiratory, and laparoscopic applications. These products are gradually gaining recognition in Chinese hospitals, with increasing market share.

Challenges in 3D Medical Endoscope Testing

The imaging quality of 3D medical endoscopes directly affects a surgeon’s spatial perception, precision in operation, and overall surgical safety. However, due to factors such as binocular channel alignment, depth accuracy, image fusion errors, and color consistency, objective evaluation of 3D image quality still faces multiple challenges, including:

1. Binocular Channel Consistency – A 3D endoscope consists of left and right channels, requiring uniform brightness, color, and contrast between them.

2. Depth Accuracy – Since 3D imaging relies on parallax calculation, it is crucial to evaluate depth errors and depth of field range.

3. Image Fusion Precision – Optical channel misalignment can cause image drift or ghosting, affecting the overall 3D visualization quality.

4. Distortion & Geometric Accuracy – Lens distortion may impact geometric correction, leading to inaccurate spatial measurements.

5. Color & Contrast Consistency – Under varying brightness conditions, both channels must maintain consistent color, brightness, and contrast.

6. Stability in Dynamic Scenes – 3D endoscopes must maintain imaging stability and adaptive performance in complex surgical environments.

7. Lack of Standardization – Current industry standards for 3D medical endoscopes are still evolving, with inconsistent testing methods and evaluation criteria across different products, affecting comparability and regulatory compliance.
