ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM

摘要

An endoscope system includes an insertion portion, a support portion, a first subject image acquisition portion, a second subject image acquisition portion, a third subject image acquisition portion, an image generation section, and an image processing section. The image processing section can switch between a first mode of arranging lateral images around a forward image in a continuously connected state and a second mode of arranging the lateral images and the forward image in a separated. The image processing section continuously connects a third image in a non-display region to the forward image in the first mode, and arranges the lateral images side by side with both sides of the forward image and arranges the third image adjacent to the forward image in the second mode.

主权项

1. An endoscope system comprising:
an insertion portion inserted into a subject; a support portion protruding forward from a distal end surface of the insertion portion; a first subject image acquisition portion provided on the insertion portion and configured to acquire a first subject image from a forward region including a forward direction of the insertion portion; a second subject image acquisition portion provided on the insertion portion and configured to acquire a second subject image from a lateral region including a radial direction of the insertion portion, the lateral region being at least partially different from the forward region; a third subject image acquisition portion provided on the insertion portion and configured to acquire a third subject image from a third region that is a region in the forward region shielded by the support portion; an image generation section configured to generate a forward image based on the first subject image, lateral images based on the second subject image, and a third image based on the third subject image; and an image processing section configured to execute a process of arranging the lateral images around the forward image and arranging the third image in a non-display region of the lateral images generated by being shielded by the support portion, wherein the image processing section can switch between a first mode of arranging the lateral images around the forward image in a state in which parts of the lateral images including both sides of the forward image are continuously connected and a second mode of arranging the lateral images side by side with the forward image in a state in which the parts including both sides of the forward image are separated, and the image processing section executes a process of arranging the third image in the non-display region in a state in which the third image is continuously connected to the forward image in the first mode and a process of arranging the lateral images side by side with both sides of the forward image and arranging the third image adjacent to a region different from both sides of the forward image in the second mode.
