In modern medicine, there is a free access to the human body "instrument", its name is endoscope. The device is designed to examine diseases directly through an "artificial tunnel" of the stomach, which is seen through an endoscope.

The endoscope consists of a very thin, long, flexible metal tube and a probe. A long, soft metal tube runs through the mouth into the stomach, into the windpipe, and through the anus into the intestine. A light source attached to one end of the tube transmits light to the other end of the endoscope, producing light that otherwise would be so dark inside that it would be hard to see. Doctors through the operator, can make the head of the lens like the head of the snake, bending, to observe the part, the observation of the situation, through the transmission of the image beam transmission to the TELEVISION monitor into an image, and then by the electronic computer processing, the doctor can find the problems of these organs. If the camera is mounted on the probe of the endoscope, it can also take pictures. The endoscope also has a special hole in the tube, through which a miniature scalpel can be installed, doctors can operate directly inside the organ for the patient without dissections; A thin clamp can also be installed to take a small amount of living tissue for pathological examination.

Since endoscope can directly observe the pathological changes of the internal organs of the human body, it can greatly improve the early detection rate of the disease, which is particularly important for cancer, because the early treatment effect of cancer is better than that of late. Here, the endoscope can also make an accurate diagnosis of digestive diseases, such as stomach and duodenitis, or ulcers. In recent years, doctors have combined endoscope technology and ultrasound technology, used in the judgment of the depth of digestive tract tumor invasion, the differentiation of benign and malignant tumors, as well as the diagnosis of some other lesions, have shown great power.
