Abstract:
An endoscope apparatus includes a distance information acquisition section that detects the position of a treatment tool and the position of a specific part, and acquires distance information about a distance between the specific part and the treatment tool based on the detected position of the treatment tool and the detected position of the specific part, a degree-of-closeness acquisition section that acquires the degree of closeness between the specific part and the treatment tool based on the distance information, and a treatment tool control section that controls at least one of an incision-related setting and a bleeding arrest-related setting of the treatment tool based on the degree of closeness.
Abstract:
An imaging system includes a lighting controller for independently controlling emission of illumination light to be emitted by a light source in: (i) a non-all-line exposure period, which contains a reading period in which electrical signals are sequentially read out on a horizontal-line basis from an image sensor for one frame or one field period, and in which at least one horizontal line of the horizontal lines for the one frame or the one field period is not exposed to light, and (ii) in an all-line exposure period, in which all of the horizontal lines for the one frame or the one field period are exposed to light.
