摘要:
A medical system for illuminating a structure of interest inside a human or animal body, the medical system comprising: i) a medical device comprising a controllable light source according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that said medical system comprises: ii) a control unit for generating a control signal for controlling the controllable light source, wherein the control unit comprises, iii) a receiving unit configured to receive data of the human or animal body, iv) a further receiving unit (266, 366) configured to receive stored information from a memory (261, 361), said memory configured for storing information as to i) a depth of a structure of interest (220, 320) within a tissue and/or a cavity of the human or animal body, and ii) the wavelength, or range of wavelengths suitable for illuminating the structure of interest (220, 320) based on the depth of said structure of interest (220, 320) within the tissue and/or the cavity, whereby the control unit is arranged to generate, based on the received data and stored information, a control signal capable of being received by the controllable light source so that said controllable light source illuminates the structure of interest at a wavelength, or a range of wavelengths suitable to illuminate the structure of interest.
