An image recording apparatus includes a processor. The processor records setting information corresponding to at least one of a procedure or a scene during the procedure, sets a color to be detected from a fluorescent image and a detection level based on the setting information, detects a level of the set color from the fluorescent image inputted, and outputs signals to start and stop recording of the inputted fluorescent image by comparing the detected level of the color with a threshold based on the detection level.

Image recording apparatus, image recording method, and endoscope system

An endoscope system includes: a processor configured to perform image processing on endoscopic image data, the processor being connectable with multiple peripherals, the processor being configured to receive an input of a first audio command; a terminal device configured to wirelessly communicate with the processor and receive an input of a second audio command; a setting circuit configured to, in a case where the processor and the terminal device can communicate with each other, make a setting such that the first audio command that is receivable by the processor and the second audio command that is receivable by the terminal device differ from each other at least partly; and a first communication controller configured to, when the first audio command or the second audio command serves as an instruction to record the endoscopic image data, transmit the endoscopic image data to the terminal device.

Endoscope system and control method

An endoscope system is provided with: a processor; a light source; and an image pickup device. The processor performs control for causing reflected light images corresponding to a predetermined period before start of the fluorescence occurrence period during the fluorescence non-occurrence period, among the reflected light images, to be recorded to the first storage medium; and, furthermore, performs control for causing the reflected light images to be recorded to the first storage medium during an after-end-of-fluorescence-occurrence period corresponding to a predetermined period with an end of the fluorescence occurrence period as a start point, and performs control for causing the reflected light images not to be recorded to the first storage medium during the fluorescence non-occurrence period after an end of the after-end-of-fluorescence-occurrence period.

Endoscope system and endoscope processor

An image processing device includes a processor configured to: extract pixel blocks; detect pixels having a maximum value and a minimum value in each of the pixel blocks; calculate reference value candidates from the maximum and the minimum values; calculate an absolute difference value relative to each of the maximum value, the minimum value, and the reference value candidates; divide each of the pixel blocks into subblocks; select, as a reference value from among the reference value candidates in each of the subblocks, a reference value candidate close to the pixel values in which the pixels included in each of the subblocks are distributed; extract a closest difference value, the minimum value, and the reference value; quantize each of the closest difference values into a quantization value by using the difference value that is the largest from among the closest difference values; and code the quantization value.

Image processing device, image processing method, and non-transitory computer readable medium storing image processing program

A medical information recording device includes a first recording processing unit configured to record a moving image of a medical image in which a status information image is superimposed, a second recording processing unit configured to record a moving image of the medical image in which a portion of the status information image of the medical image is subjected to mask processing, an arbitration unit configured to control communication between a recording unit in which the medical image in which the status information image is superimposed and the medical image in which the portion of the status information image is subjected to mask processing are recorded, and the first recording processing unit and the second recording processing unit, and a load adjusting circuit configured to control the arbitration unit on the basis of load of the first recording processing unit and the second recording processing unit.

Medical information recording device

A wireless image transfer system includes an image quality judgement unit configured to judge reception states of a first image transmitted in a first frequency band by a first image wireless block and a second image transmitted in a second frequency band by a second image wireless block and image qualities of the received images; and a second control unit configured to sort the reception states into a good state, a bad state, and an intermediate state, select a first image signal in the good state, steadily operate the second image wireless block and periodically operate the first image wireless block in the bad state, and select an image with a better quality from the first image signal and a second image signal and output the selected image in the intermediate state.

Wireless image transfer system and wireless image transfer method

A wireless transfer system includes: a wireless transmission section including: an input section configured to receive, as an input signal, one of a first video signal provided with ancillary information including identification information of a high-definition 3D/2D video signal and a second video signal not including the identification information; a video signal extraction section configured to extract one of the high-definition video signal and the second video signal from the input signal; an ancillary information extraction section configured to extract the ancillary information; a wireless video transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit extracted one of the high-definition video signal and the second video signal; and the like; and a wireless reception section including: a wireless video receiver configured to receive wirelessly transmitted one of the high-definition video signal and the second video signal; a wireless ancillary information receiver configured to receive the wirelessly transmitted ancillary information; and the like.

Wireless transfer system

In a transmission device used in a wireless video transmission system in which a medical image is transmitted and received by radio communication, a transmission unit is capable of performing radio communication with a plurality of receiving devices connected to a plurality of display apparatuses. A control unit acquires an identifier for identifying a receiving device connected to a selected single display apparatus when an instruction is received to select one display apparatus on which the medical image is to be displayed from among the display apparatuses, and controls the transmission unit such that the identifier will be used when the medical image is transmitted.

Wireless video transmission system and transmission device

In a processor of a wireless image transmission system that transmits, by radio communication, an image signal obtained by converting an image obtained by an endoscope apparatus, a communication state detection unit monitors a communication state of radio communication. An editing unit edits the image signal according to a mode in which the endoscope apparatus obtains an image when the deterioration of a communication state is detected by the communication state detection unit. A transmission unit transmits the image signal output from the editing unit to a receiver.
