Abstract: A light source control device includes: a light source configured to intermittently emit pulse light; and a hardware processor configured to detect a vocal cord vibrational frequency of a subject based on a voice signal input from an external device, determine whether or not the vocal cord frequency is equal to or greater than a threshold value, and change a light emission frequency of the pulse light in one frame period based on image brightness based on an image signal when the vocal cord frequency is equal to or greater than the threshold value, and prohibit change in the light emission frequency and change the pulse width of the pulse light emitted by the light source based on the image brightness when the vocal cord frequency is not equal to or greater than the threshold value.

Abstract: Provided are an endoscope device and a connection determination method for preventing light emission exceeding an allowable amount from being performed in a state where a light guide is not connected to an endoscope.
An endoscope device of the present disclosure includes a light source unit configured to supply light to one end of a light guide; an insertion member including a connecting portion detachably connected to the other end of the light guide and a distal end that emits the light from the light guide to a target region of a subject; a light receiving unit configured to receive reflected light reflected by the target region of the subject and incident from the distal end; and a control unit configured to determine a connection state between the light guide and the insertion member on the basis of information of the reflected light received by the light receiving unit.

Abstract: A medical observation control device and system include a memory that stores a parameter for a first imaging condition of an imager at a first time of capturing a first medical image and circuitry configured to correct for brightness differences between the first medical image captured at the first time and a second medical image captured at a second time. The circuitry is configured to restore the parameter for the first imaging condition as a second imaging condition for capturing the second medical image, control the imager so as to capture an image of an observation object under the second imaging condition as the second medical image, compare the first medical image with the second medical image, and correct brightness of at least one of brightness of the first medical image and brightness of the second medical image based on a comparison result.

Abstract: A camera head includes a mounting unit detachably connected to an eyepiece unit of an endoscope, the camera head capturing an object image emitted from the eyepiece unit. The eyepiece unit includes an abutting surface that is orthogonal to a central axis along an insertion direction of the endoscope into a subject, and the abutting surface extending over an entire circumference in a circumferential direction around the central axis. The mounting unit is connected to the eyepiece unit and is configured to relatively rotate the endoscope and the camera head around the central axis. The mounting unit includes a facing surface that faces the abutting surface, and a pressing portion that abuts the eyepiece unit and presses the eyepiece unit toward the facing surface along the central axis. The facing surface includes a projecting portion that projects toward the abutting surface and abuts the abutting surface.
