Problems solved by technology

[0012] However, in the devices disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, if the endoscope insertion unit has been taken out of the patient's body cavity, it is impossible to perform illumination with excitation light
Therefore, it is impossible to observe the fluorescence image outside the body cavity as described above

Embodiment Construction

[0042] Hereinafter, a rigid endoscope system employing a fluorescence endoscopy apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The fluorescence endoscopy apparatus according to this embodiment controls illumination with excitation light in consideration of operational safety. First, the structure of the entire system will be described. figure 1 is a schematic external view illustrating the structure of the rigid endoscope system 1 according to the present invention.

[0043] like figure 1 As shown, the rigid endoscope system 1 in this embodiment includes a light source device 2 , a rigid endoscope imaging device 10 , a processor 3 and a monitor 4 . The light source device 2 outputs blue light and near-infrared light. The rigid endoscope imaging device 10 illuminates an area to be observed with white light obtained by wavelength converting blue light output from the light source device 2 ...

Abstract

A fluorescent endoscopy apparatus includes an endoscope insertion unit that is inserted into a body cavity and that guides excitation light to illuminate a region to be observed, and an imaging unit that images a fluorescent image by receiving fluorescence that has been output from the region to be observed by illumination with the excitation light and guided by the endoscope insertion unit. Further, the fluorescent endoscopy apparatus includes a facial information detection unit that detects facial information about a person in an imaging image that has been imaged by the imaging unit by receiving light guided by the endoscope insertion unit, and an interlock unit that prohibits illumination with the excitation light when the facial information detection unit has detected the facial information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fluorescence endoscopy apparatus including an endoscope insertion unit inserted into a body cavity of a patient. The fluorescence endoscopy apparatus illuminates an area to be observed with excitation light through an endoscope insertion unit, and receives fluorescence output from the area to be observed through the illumination to form a fluorescence image. In particular, the invention relates to the safety control of lighting using excitation light. Background technique [0002] Traditionally, endoscopic systems for viewing tissue in a body cavity of a patient are widely known. Furthermore, an electronic endoscope system that obtains an ordinary image by imaging a region to be observed in a body cavity by illumination with white light and displays the ordinary image on a monitor screen is widely used in practical use. [0003] As an example of such an endoscope system, an endoscope system that obtains a fluorescen...
