Abstract: A medical endoscope that has a reusable portion to which either of two different single-use portions can be snapped in by hand to thereby form two different assembled endoscopes. When one of the single-use portions is assembled with the reusable portion, a motor in the reusable portion robotically rotates a cannula about a proximal end of the single use portion. When the other single-use portion is assembled with the reusable portion, the motor robotically angulates the distal end of the cannula. Another medical endoscope is single-use in its entirety and has motor-driven angulation of the cannula's distal end. Another has manually controlled angulation.

Abstract: Method for leveraging battery residue energy and a capsule endoscope using the method are disclosed. The capsule endoscope is capable of performing one or more functions at a first throughput or a first peak current when the battery has sufficient energy. According to this method, whether the battery energy is sufficient is determined. Upon determining the battery energy being insufficient, at least one function of the one or more functions is performed at a second throughput lower than the first throughput, or at least one function of the one or more functions is switched to another function requiring a second peak current lower than the first peak current.

Abstract: An electronic endoscope processor for processing an image signal of a subject imaged using an imaging element in an electronic endoscope system includes: an illuminating light switch that alternatingly switches the illuminating light to be emitted to the subject, between a first illuminating light and a second illuminating light; and an imaging element control circuit that controls an exposure time of the imaging element and a charge readout timing. The imaging element control circuit controls the exposure time T1 of the imaging element when the first illuminating light is being emitted to the subject and the exposure time T2 of the imaging element when the second illuminating light is being emitted to the subject, based on a time-integrated amount of luminous flux per unit time of the first illuminating light and a time-integrated amount of luminous flux per unit time of the second illuminating light.

Abstract: A control device includes an image quality control unit configured to control image quality of an image for display on a basis of optical axis angle information with reference to a scope axis of an endoscope and an image signal acquired by an image sensor. The optical axis angle information is information detected by information obtained by acquiring light source angle information controlled by an imaging device.

Abstract: In an endoscope system, a frame adjustment unit makes a frame adjustment for changing the number of frames to be displayed per unit time (frame rate) for a normal image and for a computational image on the basis of a computational processing time detected by a computational processing time detection unit and an amount of motion detected by a motion detection unit. A display control unit determines a display method for the normal image and the computational image on the basis of the amount of motion, and the normal image and the computational image are displayed on a monitor in accordance with the display method.

Abstract: An image pickup system includes an image pickup device including an image pickup section, a first amplifier circuit capable of amplifying a video signal for each field, and a communication circuit configured to acquire a set gain of the first amplifier circuit, a second amplifier circuit configured to amplify the video signal outputted from the image pickup device, and a processor. According to a result of a detection indicating that the video signal is not amplified by the set gain in the first amplifier circuit, a correction gain to be set in the second amplifier circuit is calculated.
