Forty years ago, the only way that a doctor could diagnose an internal medical problem was through major exploratory surgery. The development of optical quality glass fibers made possible an alternative approach, the endoscope. An endoscope is a flexible tube with an eyepiece on one end, a lens on the other end, and optical fibers inside to carry light in and an image out. The doctor can insert the endoscope through natural openings in the body to search for signs of colon cancer or problems in the female reproductive system. Or the endoscope can be inserted through a small surgical incision to examine a damaged knee or to look for the source of abdominal pain such as that which might be caused by a ruptured appendix or a diseased gall bladder. Modern endoscopes are also designed to conduct surgery, as described in a later section.

An endoscope is a medical instrument for observing and diagnosing organs such as the stomach and intestines by being inserting into the body. It is employed with a CCD camera with a light-guided glass fiber to illuminate the area being observed. An endoscope or push-type endoscope is a highly integrated instrument with a camera, light guide, small forceps to pick up tissue, a tube for injecting water to clean tissues, and an air tube for enlarging affected regions. A capsule endoscope is a kind of endoscope developed in 2000 by Given Imaging in Israel [473]. It is currently available for sale in the US and Europe. Olympus has also developed a capsule endoscope, which is for sale in Europe. Figure 5.33 shows a photograph of Olympus’s capsule endoscope.

A portable, economic system has been created for cooling the brain as well. This system provides efficacy and safety in porcine models (Bakhsheshi et al., 2019). An endoscopy in medicine is a procedure where organs inside the body are looked at using an instrument called an endoscope (a flexible tube with a camera). The emergence of endoscopic imaging techniques allows access to novel developed computer-aided decision support systems (Liedlgruber & Uhl, 2011). A neural fuzzy-based evolutionary system has been proposed to diagnose acute abdominal pain without examining a specialist. The acute abdomen may be caused by a vascular occlusion, infection, inflammation or obstruction. The patient is asked by a computer-based diagnostic system as a multi-choice questionnaire. It can help user get accurate information about the diagnosis and treatment of acute pain, including appendicitis, pancreatitis, diverticulitis and obstructive bowel disease (Towell & Shavlik, 1994).
