    摘要: An endoscope system is provided with a light source unit for generating illumination light, an image sensor for imaging an object of interest irradiated with the illumination light, an image signal obtaining section, a calculated image signal generator, and an image generator. The image signal obtaining section obtains a B1 image signal corresponding to violet light and a B2 image signal corresponding to blue light. The calculated image signal generator generates a calculated image signal from the B1 and B2 image signals. The image generator generates an image in which one of the B1 image signal and the B2 image signal is assigned to a luminance channel or a green channel and the calculated image signal is assigned to a remaining channel.

    摘要: A medical image processing apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire a medical image including a subject image; perform a first discrimination process of detecting a lesion and discriminating a degree of progress of the detected lesion by using a first medical image captured using first illumination light having a specific spectrum, among the medical images; and perform a second discrimination process of discriminating the degree of progress of the lesion by using a second medical image captured using second illumination light having a spectrum different from the first illumination light, among the medical images, wherein the processor performs the second discrimination process in a case where a type of the lesion detected in the first discrimination process is a specific type, or in a case where the lesion detected in the first discrimination process indicates a specific degree of progress.

    摘要: Provided is a medical image processing system that can stably control the light emission amount of narrow-band light of a short wavelength in a case where the narrow-band light of the short wavelength is used for illumination of an observation target. A light source circuit emits specific narrow-band light of a short wavelength. An image sensor includes a first pixel group including a B pixel and a second pixel group including a G pixel. The B pixel has a higher sensitivity to the specific narrow-band light than the G pixel. The G pixel has a sensitivity to light in a green band and the specific narrow-band light. The light source control unit controls the light emission amount of the specific narrow-band light on the basis of a pixel value of the B pixel and a pixel value of the G pixel.

    摘要: An endoscope system includes a storage medium that stores a plurality of correspondence between an imaging condition and a plurality of index values relating to a plurality of structures of an observation object, wherein the plurality of index values including a first index value acquirable under the first imaging condition and a second index value non-acquirable under the first imaging condition but acquirable under a second imaging condition, a monitor and a processor, coupled to the storage medium and the monitor. The processor is configured to: acquire an image of the observation object by using an endoscope; acquire a first imaging condition which represents an imaging condition of the image; refer to the plurality of index values and the imaging condition in the storage medium and extract the second imaging condition; and display guidance indicating that the second index value is acquirable under the extracted second imaging condition.

    摘要: Provided are an endoscope system and a method of operating the same capable of reliably performing focusing even in a case where an observation target is illuminated with light including long-wave light. A movable lens moves in an optical axis direction. A lens drive unit moves the movable lens from a first lens position of the movable lens where an observation target illuminated with short-wave light is focused to a second lens position of the movable lens where the observation target illuminated with long-wave light having a longer wavelength than the short-wave light is focused.
