Abstract:
Endoscope apparatus having a space through which a cooling fluid flows in the inside of a connection portion between the endoscope and a light source device in order to cool heat generated in the connection portion. For example, a device for performing air supply or air suction (at least either one of air supply and air suction) in the endoscope communicates with the space, and cooling is effected by the flow of air formed by the device. In a preferred example of a cooling method, when neither air supply nor air suction is needed during manipulation of the endoscope, the device and the space are connected to each other to effect cooling, and when air supply or air suction is needed, the flow of air used for cooling is intercepted, and is exclusively directed to an air channel in the endoscope.
Abstract:
Ein medizinisches System umfasst: eine Energieeinrichtung, die so ausgestaltet ist, dass sie in der Lage ist, eine Behandlung an lebendem Körpergewebe, das in einem Subjekt vorhanden ist, durch Erzeugen von Wärme mittels Energieanwendung auf das lebende Körpergewebe auszuführen; eine Lichtquellenvorrichtung, die so ausgestaltet ist, dass sie in der Lage ist, Erregungslicht zum Erzeugen von Fluoreszenz aus dem lebenden Körpergewebe, an dem eine Behandlung mittels der Energieeinrichtung ausgeführt wird, zu erzeugen; eine Fluoreszenz-Detektionsvorrichtung, die so ausgestaltet ist, dass sie in der Lage ist, die Fluoreszenz zu detektieren; und eine Energiesteuervorrichtung, die so ausgestaltet ist, dass sie einen Zustand der Energiezufuhr zu der Energieeinrichtung basierend auf einer Stärke der Fluoreszenz, die von der Fluoreszenz-Detektionsvorrichtung detektiert wird, steuert.
Abstract:
An analyzing unit 9 is connected to an inserting-operation information collecting unit 5, an endoscope video output unit 6, and a processing device 2, and receives live inserting-operation information and endoscope image, standard inserting-operation information as stored information, and an endoscope image correlated therewith (endoscope image which is obtained by picking up an image of a sample at the position of a distal-end portion of an inserting portion detected based on the inserting-operation information). The analyzing unit 9 collects in real time the inserting-operation information and the endoscope image from the inserting-operation information collecting unit 5 and the endoscope video output unit 6 under the bronchoscope operation of an operator. Further, the analyzing unit 9 sequentially analyzes the collected inserting-operation information and endoscope image by comparing with the standard inserting-operation information and endoscope image correlated with the inserting-operation information, which are stored in a storing unit 2A of the processing device 2, outputs an analysis result to a notifying unit 10, and monitors the inserting operation of the endoscope inserting portion performed by the operator.

Abstract:
An intragastric balloon (1) to be placed in an inflated state in the stomach (S) is provided including: a balloon body that is made of an extensible material capable of being inflated and contracted; and a balloon medium that is enclosed in the balloon body and that includes a non-compressible volume holding material inflating the balloon body to hold a predetermined volume, wherein the total specific gravity of the balloon body and the balloon medium is less than that of water (the stomach contents S1).
Abstract:
An analysis section (9) is connected to an insert operation information collection section (5), an endoscope video output section (6), and a processing device (2) so as to be provided with live insert operation information and an endoscope image as well as insert operation information as a reference of the storage information and an endoscope image related to this operation information (an endoscope image picking up an examinee of the insert portion end position detected by the insert operation information). While an operator operates a bronchia endoscope, the analysis section (9) collects in real time the insert operation information from the insert operation information collection section (5) and the endoscope video output section (6) and an endoscope image and successively compares for analysis the collected insert operation information and the endoscope image to the insert operation information and the endoscope image as the related reference which is the storage information stored in a storage section (2A) of the processing device (2). The comparison result is output to a notification section (10) so as to monitor the insert operation of the endoscope insert portion by the operator.
