Abstract:
An endoscope apparatus includes: an endoscope configured to acquire an image of an inside of a subject; and a processor including hardware. The processor generates three-dimensional model data of the subject; generates a three-dimensional model image visually confirmable in a predetermined line-of-sight direction, based on the three-dimensional model data; generates progress information enabling a progress state of endoscopic observation to be visually confirmed as a ratio; and associates the progress information with the three-dimensional model image and presents the progress information relative to the three-dimensional model image side by side.
Abstract:
A position detecting apparatus for a medical device includes a transmission unit configured to transmit a magnetic field in each of a plurality of frame periods. A reception unit detects the magnetic field transmitted from the transmission unit and output a detection signal corresponding to a position of the transmission unit. A signal control unit causes the transmission unit to transmit the magnetic field by a multiplexed signal including at least two or more different frequencies in a certain frame period among the frame periods, and causes the transmission unit to transmit the magnetic field by the multiplexed signal in the frame periods other than the certain frame period when the detection signal output from the reception unit has changed to a certain threshold or higher.
Abstract:
An endoscope system includes an image pickup device that is inserted into a subject and picks up an image inside the subject and a memory that records an intra-subject image acquired by the image pickup device and position information of the image pickup device in association with each other. The endoscope system includes an image generating section that applies, to the intra-subject image, when it is determined that a release signal is generated as a predetermined trigger signal, predetermined processing for distinguishably displaying the intra-subject image at a time when the release signal is generated and generates an image obtained by pasting the intra-subject image onto a model image of a predetermined organ.
Abstract:
A tubular insertion device includes a tubular insertion portion including a flexible portion in a predetermined part, bending sensors distributed and arranged in the flexible portion, and an operation support information calculating unit. The operation support information calculating unit extracts operation support information including at least first external force information regarding an external force applied to the tubular insertion portion by a combinational calculation based on detection information from the bending sensors.
Abstract:
A medical apparatus includes: an information acquisition section configured to acquire position information and visual line information in an endoscope inserted into a predetermined organ; an image acquisition section configured to acquire an image obtained by observing inside of the predetermined organ from a predetermined viewpoint; an alignment section configured to convert the position information and the visual line information to a coordinate system of a model of the predetermined organ; a position calculation section configured to calculate position information of an inner wall of the predetermined organ opposing in a visual line direction from the predetermined viewpoint; an index generation section configured to generate an index defined based on a predetermined feature; and an image generation section configured to generate an image in which the index and position information of the inner wall are associated, for the image acquired by the image acquisition section.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus for scanning endoscope includes: a number-of-interpolations determination section that receives detection signals from a detector for sequentially sampling return light from a subject and determines a number of detection signals used in an interpolation process by an interpolation section based on distances between a coordinate position of a predetermined lattice point in pixel data of a raster scan system and sampling coordinate positions of the detection signals around the coordinate position of the predetermined lattice point; and the interpolation section that generates pixel data of the predetermined lattice point by using signals of the sampling coordinate positions, wherein a number of the signals is equal to the number of detection signals determined by the number-of-interpolations determination section near the sampling coordinate position corresponding to the coordinate position of the predetermined lattice point.
Abstract:
A medical instrument includes an insertion portion, first transmitting coils, second transmitting coils, a signal control unit, a position detection unit, a memory, and a position estimating unit. The signal control unit controls the first transmitting coils to transmit magnetic fields during a first predetermined period and controls the second transmitting coils to transmit magnetic fields during a second predetermined period. The position detection unit detects positions of the first transmitting coils during the first predetermined period and detects positions of the second transmitting coils during the second predetermined period. The memory stores the positions of the first transmitting coils. The position estimating unit estimates a shape of the insertion portion based on the positions of the second transmitting coils and the positions of the first transmitting coils stored in the memory.
Abstract:
The endoscope system includes: an endoscope including an insertion portion to be inserted into a subject, and an image pickup portion that picks up an image of inside of the subject; an image pickup information acquisition portion that acquires positional information of the image pickup portion; an insertion form information acquisition portion that acquires insertion form information of the insertion portion inside the subject; and a control portion that, on a stereoscopic model image that simulates a predetermined organ inside the subject, superimposes an insertion form image that is based on insertion form information that is acquired by the insertion form information acquisition portion, and based on positional information of the image pickup portion that is acquired by the image pickup information acquisition portion, also pastes an image pickup image that is picked up by the image pickup portion, and presents the resulting stereoscopic model image.
Abstract:
An endoscope system includes a determining section that determines whether or not an image pickup device is moving at a predetermined speed or higher based on position/direction information and determines, when the image pickup device is not moving at the predetermined speed or higher, that a subject internal image is an image that can be pasted onto a model image of a predetermined organ in a state where the position/direction information of an objective optical window and position/direction information in a coordinate system of the predetermined organ model image are associated with each other, and an image pasting section that reads the subject internal image determined to be the image that can be pasted from the memory and pastes the subject internal image onto the model image of the predetermined organ based on the position/direction information.
