20090124855 | ENDOSCOPIC SYSTEM - An endoscopic system of the present invention includes an endoscope having an input portion, a monitor which displays an image taken with the endoscope, and an observation apparatus which is detachably attached to the endoscope, and which, when connected to the endoscope, automatically displays on the monitor a setting view on which a setting can be made through the input portion. | 05-14-2009 |
20090177034 | ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM - An endoscope system of the invention includes an elongated insertion portion; an image pickup portion provided with an objective optical system having an optical axis diagonal to a longitudinal axis direction of the insertion portion and that picks up an image of a subject present in a field of view of the objective optical system and can rotate around the longitudinal axis of the insertion portion; a rotation angle detection portion that detects a rotation angle of the image pickup portion; an image pickup control portion that can have images of a plurality of subjects picked up while the image pickup portion makes one rotation by controlling the image pickup portion on the basis of the rotation angle detected by the rotation angle detection portion; and a signal processing portion that carries out signal processing for having each image of the plurality of subjects displayed on one display portion. | 07-09-2009 |
20090306470 | MEDICAL APPARATUS - A medical apparatus of the present invention includes a medical device configured to be introduced into a body, and the medical apparatus further includes: an image pickup portion which is provided in the medical device and picks up an image of a subject to be examined in the body; a securing portion configured to secure the medical device to a wall in the body; and a grasping unit which is arranged in parallel to the image pickup portion, incorporates at least one assistance apparatus that assists the image pickup, and is configured to be grasped when the medical apparatus is introduced and retracted in and out of the body. | 12-10-2009 |
20100076259 | MEDICAL APPARATUS - A medical apparatus according to the present invention is a medical apparatus used in a state in which the medical apparatus is led into a body and fixed. The medical apparatus includes: a fixing section that fixes the medical apparatus on a body wall in the body; an image pickup section that picks up an image of a subject in the body and is provided pivotably around a first axis; and a holding section that includes the fixing section and holds the image pickup section pivotably around a second axis different from the first axis. Therefore, the medical apparatus can change a photographing range and a visual field direction as desired to photograph the subject by performing magnified observation and photographing the subject from different directions without using a zoom function in the state in which the medical apparatus is fixed in a limited space in the body. | 03-25-2010 |
20100225754 | MEDICAL INSTRUMENT - A medical instrument according to the present invention is a medical instrument used by being introduced into the body and fixed therein, which includes a fixing section fixed to a body wall in the body, an image pickup section that picks up an image of an object to be examined in the body, an illumination section that illuminates the object to be examined in the body and a sheet body in which the illumination section is disposed and which is made unfoldable so as to spread with respect to the image pickup section so that an illumination region of illumination light is expanded in an image pickup region of the image pickup section and a wide range is irradiated with the illumination light, and can thereby irradiate the object to be examined whose images are taken with illumination light of sufficient brightness and luminous intensity distribution. | 09-09-2010 |
20120062717 | Medical apparatus - A medical apparatus includes: a first image pickup section that is fixed to a body wall and picks up an image of an inside of a body cavity; a recording section that records in advance, in preparation for a case in which a predetermined image change occurs in a first image picked up by the first image pickup section, a predetermined image area in the first image or a coordinate for specifying the predetermined image area; and a display section that displays, when the predetermined image change occurs in the first image, the image area or the coordinate recorded in the recording section to be superimposed on the first image picked up by the first image pickup section. | 03-15-2012 |
20160006915 | IMAGING UNIT - An imaging unit provided at a tip portion of an endoscope includes: an imaging element configured to receive light and perform photoelectric conversion on the light to generate an electrical signal; an oscillator configured to generate a clock signal for driving the imaging element; a photoelectric element configured to convert the electrical signal generated by the imaging element into an optical signal and to output the optical signal to outside; a regulator configured to convert electric power input from the outside into electric power depending on each of the imaging element, the oscillator, and the photoelectric element, and to supply the converted electric power thereto. The imaging element is spaced farther than the oscillator and the photoelectric element from the regulator. | 01-07-2016 |
