摘要:
An endoscope has an elongate insertion section whose forward end section has a built-in imaging element, an operation section to be held provided at the rear end of the insertion section, and cable sections having a light guide cable for transmitting illumination light and a signal cable connected to the imaging element, the cables extending integrally or as separate bodies from the operation section. Connectors at ends of the cable sections are respectively connectable to a light source device and a signal processing device. Between the front end and a position near the rear end of the operation section is provided a connection/removal section to which a first unit that is on the insertion section side and a second unit that is on the cable sections side are removably connected.

A guiding elongated medical member includes: a proximal end area 42 having a predetermined length and outer diameter with a substantially circular cross sectional shape; a distal end area 41 which is provided so as to extend from a distal end of the proximal end area and has an outer diameter smaller than the proximal end area; a first lumen 44 which is arranged in the proximal end area, opened at a near end and a remote end of the distal end area, and also adapted to allow a penetration of at least an operation medical member for carrying out a predetermined medical action; and at least one first hole portion 47a (47b) which is in communication with the first lumen and is arranged in a side peripheral portion of the proximal end area.

To make it easily recognizable on a receiving side what image pickup element the received image data was taken. A capsule type endoscope (3) (one example of in vivo image acquisition device) is swallowed into a subject thereby to take the image of the interior of an organ of the subject. This capsule type endoscope (3) includes plural LEDs (11a, 11b), plural CCDs (12a, 12b), and a sending module (46). The CCDs (12a, 12b) pairing the LEDs (11a, 11b) take the image of the interior of the body cavity, which is irradiated by the LEDs (11a, 11b). The send module (46) adds identification data for identifying the CCDs (12a, 12b), to those individual longitudinal pieces of image data of the capsule type endoscope (3), which were taken by the CCDs (12a, 12b), and sends those individual pieces of image data together with the identification data to the receiving side.
摘要:
The present invention is to provide a capsule endoscope capable of making an appropriate observation without being disturbed by such as reflections from a surface of liquid and folds, when making an observation in a body cavity while floating in the liquid introduced into a subject. A center of gravity is set using a weight (8) at a position decentered at which a capsule casing (3) is stabilized in liquid (9) introduced into a subject (2) without rotating except for rotation about an axis in a direction of the center of gravity, and an in-vivo image in the body cavity is taken using an imager (4) whose imaging field is set such that a surface (9a) of the liquid is out of view when the capsule casing (3) floats in the posture described above. An example of the imager (4) is imaging optical systems (4a) and (4b) whose optical axes are inclined with respect to a longitudinal axis of the capsule casing (3).

An elastically deformable elastic deformation portion (204) is disposed at a distal end portion of a cylindrical hood main body (202) attached on an outer peripheral surface of a distal end portion (15) of an endoscope (2), and the elastic deformation portion (204) is configured such that a distal end portion of the elastic deformation portion (204) abuts on an analyte to position an observation position of a second imaging unit (30) at a magnification observation time utilizing the second imaging unit (30) while the elastic deformation portion (204) is elastically deformable up to a position where a first imaging unit (28) abuts on an analyte at a contact observation time utilizing the first imaging unit (28). Thereby, a distal end hood for an endoscope where observation of a surface of a body tissue utilizing an ordinary observation optical system can be performed stably even by an endoscope provided with the observation optical system of an object contact type where observation is performed in a contact state with a body tissue, and object contact observation where observation is performed in a contact state of the observation optical system of an object contact type with a body tissue can be performed stably, and an endoscope with a hood are provided.
摘要:
A method for displaying images includes adjusting at least one characteristic of an image from a first imaging device of an endoscope to match at least one corresponding characteristic of an image from a second imaging device of the endoscope. The at least one characteristic may be one or more of color, contrast and brightness. An endoscopic system includes an endoscope including a first imaging device and a second imaging device, and a display device that displays an image from the first imaging device of the endoscope and an image from the second imaging device of the endoscope, wherein the images are sized so that an object, when placed at the same distance from the imaging devices, appears to have about the same size in the images.
摘要:
A catheter assembly is provided with a first visual device and a second visual device. The second visual device is movable with respect to the first visual device to provide image feedback of a lesion from a different prospective than the first visual device. The second visual device can be moved before, contemporaneously with, or subsequent to a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure. The second visual device can include an elongated tube that can be extended into or retracted out from an insertion tube of the catheter assembly.
摘要:
A stapling device for a surgical endoscopic device provided with at least one flexible portion, comprising a staple-firing portion and an anvil portion, wherein one of the staple firing portions and one of the anvil portions are located longitudinally displaced from one another along the longitudinal axis of the endoscopic device, with at least a part of said flexible portion between them. The parts of the stapling device are in correct working relationship when one or more alignment and/or locking pins or screws that are stored in one of the staple firing portions or one of the anvil portions are extended and engage and lock or screw into receptacles that have been provided on the other of the staple firing portion or of the anvil portion.
