Endoscope apparatus for setting a scanning area |
摘要 |
An endoscope apparatus that has an OCT function and can efficiently obtain an optical tomographic image is provided. An image of an area within a body cavity is displayed on a monitor, and an operator uses a pen-type input to specify a point thereon. An aiming-light is projected onto the body cavity and displayed on said monitor as a bright point, and a coated tube of an OCT probe is slid and rotated by a scanning controller so as to align the aiming-light with the point. A scanning-area setting means sets a ring shaped scanning area when the aiming-light and point are aligned. The scanning area is scanned with a signal-light, and an optical tomographic image is obtained and displayed on a monitor. An optical tomographic image can be efficiently and expediently obtained without the need to manually direct the irradiation position of the signal-light to a desired scanning area. |
