Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to develop a novel endoscope for superselective intra-arterial infusion for oral cancer. This endoscope could connect to 3CCD imaging system(FT-203F, FiberTech), and had irrigation and working channels. But, the imaging quality was not sufficient in phantom experiment. Therefore, we will improve this quality od the endoscope.
