Endoscope system
An endoscope system of the invention includes: a first endoscope capable of picking up an image of a subject; a first illuminating section capable of emitting first illuminating light; a second endoscope capable of picking up an image of the subject illuminated by the first light from a direction different from the first endoscope; a second illuminating section capable of emitting second illuminating light; a video signal processing section for generating a video signal based on a signal picked-up by the second endoscope; a display section for displaying an image of the subject obtained by the video signal processing section; an emphasis instructing section for instructing an emphasis on an image obtained based on the first light; and an emphasis control section for controlling to emphasize the subject image obtained based on the first light according to an operation of the emphasis instructing section.
1. An endoscope system comprising:
a first endoscope including a first image pickup section capable of picking up an image of a subject;
a first illuminating section capable of emitting a first illuminating light for illuminating the subject, the image of which is picked up by the first image pickup section;
a second endoscope including a second image pickup section capable of picking up an image of the subject illuminated by the first illuminating light from a direction different from that of the first image pickup section;
a second illuminating section capable of emitting a second illuminating light for illuminating the subject, the image of which is picked up by the second image pickup section;
a video signal processing section for the second endoscope for generating a video signal for the second endoscope based on a signal picked up by the second image pickup section;
a display section for the second endoscope for displaying an image of the subject obtained based on the video signal processing section for the second endoscope;
an emphasis instructing section for instructing an emphasis on an image obtained by the first illuminating light; and
a video signal generation control section for performing, on the video signal processing section for the second endoscope, control to generate the video signal by not using the image of the subject obtained at a timing when light not having a light intensity large enough to transmit the light through the body cavity wall is emitted and by using, as images of the subject for two fields, an image of the subject for one field obtained at a timing when the light having the light intensity large enough to transmit the light through the body cavity wall is emitted based on a cycle of pulse emission in the first illuminating light.

a first endoscope including a first image pickup section capable of picking up an image of a subject;
a first illuminating section capable of emitting a first illuminating light for illuminating the subject, the image of which is picked up by the first image pickup section;
a second endoscope including a second image pickup section capable of picking up an image of the subject illuminated by the first illuminating light from a direction different from that of the first image pickup section;
a second illuminating section capable of emitting a second illuminating light for illuminating the subject, the image of which is picked up by the second image pickup section;
a video signal processing section for the second endoscope for generating a video signal for the second endoscope based on a signal picked up by the second image pickup section;
a display section for the second endoscope for displaying an image of the subject obtained based on the video signal processing section for the second endoscope;
an emphasis instructing section for instructing an emphasis on an image obtained by the first illuminating light; and
a video signal generation control section for performing, on the video signal processing section for the second endoscope, control to generate the video signal by performing a processing to superimpose images of the subject for two fields which are temporally successive, and further performing a calculating to obtain a difference between the image of the subject subjected to the processing and an image of the subject for one field obtained at a timing when light not having a light intensity large enough to transmit the light through the body cavity wall is emitted after the processing, based on a cycle of pulse emission in the first illuminating light.
