Treatment support device

Abstract

A treatment support device (1) comprises: a first light (4) that radiates excitation light (EL) for a fluorescence agent (Pa) at a subject (P); an imaging unit (5) that includes a detection unit (2) that detects fluorescence (IR) that is emitted from the fluorescence agent (Pa) as a result of the radiated excitation light (EL); a portable second light (12) that radiates excitation light (EL) for the fluorescence agent (Pa) at the subject (P); and an image generation unit (14).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a treatment assisting device, in particular to a treatment assisting device for taking images during treatment to assist treatment. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is known a treatment support device that captures images during treatment to support treatment. For example, such a treatment assisting device is disclosed in JP-A-2012-023492. [0003] The aforementioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2012-023492 discloses a treatment assisting device that irradiates visible light and excitation light to a subject containing a fluorescent agent, acquires a visible light image of the subject, and Therapeutic assistance is performed from fluorescent images produced by fluorescent agents. The aforementioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2012-023492 discloses a configuration in which visible light and excitation light are alternately irradiated to a surgical site to which a fluorescent agent has been adminis...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

As mentioned above, depending on the treatment method, treatment site, wavelength of excitation light to be irradiated, etc., there is a problem that the excitation light source included in the device may not be able to cope.
