Description

Electronic endoscope system
Technical field
The present invention relates to the electronic endoscope system possessing the special smooth overview function being highlighted superficial blood vessel.
Background technology
At medical field in recent years, the Treatment and diagnosis of fujinon electronic video endoscope is used to popularize.Fujinon electronic video endoscope possesses the endoceliac elongated insertion section of inserting examinee, and is built-in with the imaging apparatuss such as CCD in the leading section of this insertion section.In addition, fujinon electronic video endoscope is connected with light supply apparatus and processor device.Illumination light from light supply apparatus is irradiated from the illuminating window of the leading section being located at fujinon electronic video endoscope to endoceliac look-out station.Reflected light from look-out station is incident to CCD by the shooting window being located at the leading section of fujinon electronic video endoscope.The image taken by this CCD is admitted to processor device, after treatment circuit implements various image procossing, shows at monitor.Therefore, by using fujinon electronic video endoscope, can the endoceliac image of real-time confirmation examinee, therefore, Treatment and diagnosis can be carried out aptly.
Light supply apparatus uses white light source, the such as xenon lamp that can send from blue band domain (blue wavelength domain) to the wide band light of the white of red band domain (red wavelength territory).By using the wide band light of white as illumination light, can comprehensive observing irradiated body tissue (objective tissue).Can roughly observe irradiated body tissue from the photographed images obtained when irradiating wide band light, but the irradiated body tissues such as the sag and swell of capillary vessel, pit pattern (gland outlet structure), depression or protuberance and so on are difficult to observe clearly.
As known, by wavelength being limited in for this irradiated body irradiated tissue the narrow-band-domain light of specific band domain, capillary vessel etc. can be observed emphatically clearly.On the other hand, due to the half breadth constriction of the light to irradiated body irradiated tissue, so the light quantity of illumination light reduces.Consequently, endoceliac illumination is insufficient, can not carry out good shooting.
In Japanese Patent No. 4009626 publication, the image pickup signal obtained is implemented to the image procossing compensated for deficiency in light quantity when irradiating narrow-band-domain light.Thus, though when narrow-band-domain light irradiation and when making dark in body cavity, the image quality of the reflection shown by monitor also can not reduce.
But as known, even if when irradiating narrow-band-domain light, when making forward end section of endoscope observe close to irradiated body tissue, so-called close shot is when observing, the light quantity of narrow-band-domain light also can not deficiency, fully can emphasize superficial blood vessel etc.In contrast, make endoscope distal end portion to carry out away from irradiated body tissue distant view observe time, so-called distant view observe time, due to the deficiency in light quantity of narrow-band-domain light, so sometimes fully superficial blood vessel etc. can not be emphasized.
For this opinion, do not record or hint in Japanese Patent No. 4009626 publication, therefore, no matter distant view is observed or arbitrary situation that close shot is observed, and all image pickup signal is carried out to the image procossing compensated for deficiency in light quantity.Therefore, when the distant view becoming deficiency in light quantity is observed, the image procossing for deficiency in light quantity compensation recorded in Japanese Patent No. 4009626 publication is useful.But when close shot is observed, be more fully highlighted superficial blood vessel etc., it is brighter, therefore, when carrying out the image procossing for supplementary deficiency in light quantity, the reflection on monitor is too bright, and the anxiety being difficult on the contrary carry out observing exists.

As shown in Figure 2, light supply apparatus 13 possesses wide band light source 30, rotary filter 31, light filter switching part 32.As wide band light source 30, use xenon lamp, White LED, micro white light source etc., produce the wide band light BB from blue band domain to red band domain (about 470 ~ 700nm).Wide band light source 30 continues to light in the use of fujinon electronic video endoscope 11.The wide band light BB sent from wide band light source 30 incides collecting lens 34 through rotary filter 31.Incident to photoconduction 35 by the wide band light BB of collecting lens 34 optically focused.
Rotary filter 31 is pressed certain speed by motor 36 and is rotated centered by rotating shaft 31a.This rotary filter 31 possesses the first filter areas 38 and the second filter areas 39.In this example, the first filter areas 38 to the second filter areas 39 is arranged more in the inner part.First filter areas 38 make in the wide band light BB from wide band light source 30 for illumination light during normal light image model through.Second filter areas 39 make in wide band light BB for illumination light during special light image pattern through.Light filter switching part 32 is installed on the rotating shaft 31a of rotary filter 31, according to making the second filter areas 39 be positioned at mode in the light path of wide band light source 30 when making the first filter areas 38 be positioned in the light path of wide band light source 30, in special light image pattern when normal light image model, rotary filter 31 is moved in direction, footpath.
Fujinon electronic video endoscope 11 possesses photoconduction 35, CCD44, analog processing circuit (AFE:Analog FrontEnd) 45, imaging control part 46.Photoconduction 35 is heavy caliber optical fiber, fibre bundle etc., incidence end is inserted light supply apparatus 13, by ejecting end and irradiation lens 48 opposite being located at leading section 16a.From the illumination light of light supply apparatus 13 by after photoconduction 43 leaded light, penetrate to irradiation lens 48.Incide the illumination light of irradiating lens 48, by being installed on the illuminating window 49 of the end face of leading section 16a to body cavity internal radiation.At the reflected light of body cavity internal reflection by being installed on the observation window 50 of the end face of leading section 16a, incide collecting lens 51.
In this embodiment, use CCD44 as imaging apparatus.This CCD is the black-white CCD of the spectral sensitivity with regulation, and the reflected light that have passed collecting lens 51 is received by imaging surface 44a.Have multiple well-known pixel in imaging surface 44a two-dimensional arrangement, the reflected light of reception is carried out opto-electronic conversion by each pixel, and accumulates the signal charge produced.
Imaging control part 46 is connected with the controller 59 in processor device 12, under the control of controller 59, send drive singal to CCD44.CCD44 is driven based on drive singal, is read by the signal charge that each pixel is accumulated by time series, it can be used as the image pickup signal of the frame rate of regulation to be sent to AFE45.
As everyone knows, above-mentioned AFE45 is made up of correlated double sample circuit (CDS), automatic gain control circuit (AGC) and analog/digital converter (A/D) (all not shown).CDS implements correlated double sampling processing to the image pickup signal from CCD44, the noise contribution in removing image pickup signal.Image pickup signal from CDS amplifies in the mode making image pickup signal and converge in desired dynamic range by AGC.Image pickup signal from AGC is converted to digital form by A/D, and delivers to processor device 12 as the image pickup signal of specified bit number.
Processor device 12 possesses digital signal processing section (DSP:Digital Signal Processor) 55, frame memory 56, observation state detection unit 57, display control circuit 58, controller 59.Controller 59 pairs of each several parts control.DSP55 carries out the signal processing such as blank level adjustment, tone process, gray proces, definition process to the image pickup signal of the AFE45 from fujinon electronic video endoscope.In addition, frame memory 56, observation state detection unit 57, display control circuit 58, due to relevant to the kind of illumination light, are therefore described in detail after rotary filter 31.
As shown in Figure 3, in the first filter areas 38, be provided with in the circumferential direction in order: make the illumination light of blue band domain in wide band light BB (B light) through blue light through light filter 40, make the illumination light (G light) of wide band light BB Green band domain through green light through light filter 41, make the illumination light (R light) of red band domain in wide band light BB through red light through light filter 42.Therefore, by the rotation of rotary filter 31, penetrate B light, G light, R light successively from rotary filter 31.The B light penetrated successively from rotary filter 31, G light, R light are referred to as face order light.
At this, as shown in Figure 4, blue light has the spectral transmission shown in curve B through light filter 40, and green light has the spectral transmission shown in curve G through light filter 41, and red light has the spectral transmission shown in curve R through light filter 42.In addition, the long wavelength side of curve B and the short wavelength side of curve G overlap a part of, and in addition, the long wavelength side of curve G and the short wavelength side of curve R overlap a part of, therefore, in the coloured light selected, mix adjacent coloured light a little.
In the second filter areas 39, be provided with in the circumferential direction in order: make in wide band light BB for the first blue narrow-band-domain light Bn1 during close shot observing pattern through the first blue narrow-band-domain light through light filter 65, make in wide band light BB for the second blue narrow-band-domain light Bn2 during distant view observing pattern through the second blue narrow-band-domain light through light filter 66, make in wide band light BB for the first green narrow-band-domain light Gn1 during close shot observing pattern through the first green narrow-band-domain light through light filter 67, make in wide band light BB for the second green narrow-band-domain light Gn2 during distant view observing pattern through the second green narrow-band-domain light through light filter 68.
First blue narrow-band-domain light has the distribution as shown in the curve B n1 of Fig. 5 A through the spectral transmission of light filter 65, therefore, to the first blue narrow-band-domain light Bn1 of body cavity internal radiation near the roughly 450nm of centre wavelength, light quantity reaches peak value, than 450nm longer wavelength side, light quantity sharply declines, and between 450nm and 500nm, light quantity is roughly " 0 ".On the other hand, than 450nm more short wavelength side, although less than the light quantity reduction at long wavelength side so sharply, light quantity declines from 450nm to 400nm, and at the position lower than 400nm, light quantity is " 0 ".
In contrast, second blue narrow-band-domain light has the distribution shown in the curve B n2 of Fig. 5 B through the spectral transmission of light filter 66, therefore, to the second blue narrow-band-domain light Bn2 of body cavity internal radiation, in the same manner as the first blue narrow-band-domain light Bn1, in the roughly 450nm longer wavelength side of centre wavelength reaching peak value than light quantity, light quantity sharply reduces.On the other hand, than roughly 450nm more short wavelength side, different from the first blue narrow-band-domain light Bn1, under the state keeping higher light quantity between 450nm ~ 400nm, light quantity little by little reduces slowly.And near 400nm, light quantity starts sharply to reduce, at the position lower than 400nm, light quantity is " 0 ".Therefore, in the second blue narrow-band-domain light Bn2, although centre wavelength in the first blue narrow-band-domain light Bn1 namely roughly the light quantity of the long wavelength side of 450nm do not change, the light quantity of short wavelength side increases.
Light quantity distribution is as above adopted to be based on following reason the first blue narrow-band-domain light Bn1 and the second blue narrow-band-domain light Bn2.As shown in the distribution of the specific absorbance of Fig. 6 A, the superficial blood vessel of light in raw soma lower than the wavelength near 450nm is subject to extremely strong absorption, but more than the light near 450nm at superficial blood vessel hardly by absorbing directly through.In addition, the distribution as the scattering coefficient of Fig. 6 B is known, the light that wavelength is short, and the scattering in soma is stronger.According to the opinion relevant with the light scattering characteristic of raw soma to the optical absorption characteristics of these blood vessels and other opinion, if the wavelength of illumination light is more than near 470nm, then in superficial blood vessel, irradiated illumination light is made to turn back to the leading section 16a of fujinon electronic video endoscope hardly because of the absorption characteristic of strong light.But, in the raw soma surrounding superficial blood vessel, made irradiated a large amount of illumination light reflections by stronger scattering properties, turn back to the leading section 16a of fujinon electronic video endoscope thus.Therefore, the contrast (contrast) of superficial blood vessel and the raw soma around it is high, can fully emphasize to represent superficial blood vessel etc.
For fully emphasizing superficial blood vessel etc., when close shot is observed and when distant view observes during arbitrary observation, about the first blue narrow-band-domain light Bn1 and the second blue narrow-band-domain light Bn2, need to irradiate not containing the illumination light of the light more than the wavelength domain near 470nm.At this, when the distant view of deficiency in light quantity is observed, use relative to the first blue narrow-band-domain light Bn1 than more short wavelength side the second blue narrow-band-domain light Bn2 of making light quantity add near 470nm.
On the other hand, the first green narrow-band-domain light has the distribution shown in the curve Gn1 of Fig. 5 A through the spectral transmission of light filter 67, and therefore, be near 550nm to the first green narrow-band-domain light Gn1 of body cavity internal radiation in centre wavelength, half breadth is 10nm ~ 20nm.In contrast, second green narrow-band-domain light has the distribution shown in the curve Gn2 of Fig. 5 B through the spectral transmission of light filter 68, therefore, to the second green narrow-band-domain light Gn2 of body cavity internal radiation, in the same manner as the first green narrow-band-domain light Gn1, centre wavelength is 550nm, but its half breadth is different from the first green narrow-band-domain light Gn1, is 20 ~ 40nm.That is, wide than the first green narrow-band-domain light Gn1 of the half breadth of the second green narrow-band-domain light Gn2.Therefore, in the second green narrow-band-domain light Gn2, compared with the first green narrow-band-domain light Gn1, light quantity has more the amount that half breadth is widened.
By as follows for the reason that the first green narrow-band-domain light Gn1 and the second green narrow-band-domain light Gn2 is set to above-mentioned light quantity distribution.As shown in the distribution of the specific absorbance of Fig. 6 A, about more than the light near 450nm, the optical absorption characteristics corresponding to blood vessel reduces, but between 500nm ~ 600nm, particularly near 530nm ~ 570nm, the optical absorption characteristics corresponding to the blood vessel of middle level improves.And about the light more than 600nm, absorption characteristic reduces again.In addition, as shown in the distribution of the scattering coefficient of Fig. 6 B, wavelength is longer, and scattering coefficient reduces more gradually, but between 500nm ~ 600nm, the scattering properties in raw soma has almost no change.
Therefore, according to about the opinion of the optical absorption characteristics of these blood vessels and the light scattering characteristic of raw soma and other opinion, at the wavelength of light be between 500nm ~ 600nm, particularly near 530nm ~ 570nm, the change comprising the scattering properties of the raw soma of middle level blood vessel is little, therefore, the light quantity reflecting the light of also return electron forward end section of endoscope 16a by raw soma is roughly certain.In contrast, the middle level blood vessel comprised in this life soma shows higher optical absorption characteristics relative to the light display between 500nm ~ 600nm, particularly near 530nm ~ 570nm, therefore, the ratio turning back to the light of the leading section 16a of fujinon electronic video endoscope in the light of middle level blood vessel irradiation reduces.Therefore, the wavelength of light between 500um ~ 600nm, particularly near 530nm ~ 570nm under, the contrast of middle level blood vessel and the raw soma around it improves, therefore, it is possible to be fully highlighted middle level blood vessel etc.
For being fully highlighted middle level blood vessel etc., when close shot is observed and when distant view observes during arbitrary observations, all need the wavelength band domain of light between 500nm ~ 600nm, preferred 530nm ~ 570nm.If between 500nm ~ 600nm, be preferably in the scope of 530nm ~ 570nm, then can fully be highlighted middle level blood vessel etc., therefore, when the distant view of deficiency in light quantity is observed, use the second green narrow-band-domain light Gn2, it is widened further by the half breadth of the first green narrow-band-domain light Gn1 by centre wavelength being roughly 550nm makes light quantity increase.
When normal light image model, utilize rotary filter 31 B light irradiated to look-out station between (rotary filter 31 1/3 rotate between), as shown in Figure 7 A, B light is carried out opto-electronic conversion and the step accumulating signal charge and the step read as blue image pickup signal by the signal charge of accumulation, alternately repeated with the cycle specified.
Secondly, when illumination light being switched to G light from B light in the rotation by rotary filter 31, equally, between 1/3 of rotary filter 31 rotates, G light is carried out opto-electronic conversion and accumulates the step of signal charge and the step that the signal charge of accumulation reads as green image pickup signal is alternately repeated.
Equally, when utilizing rotary filter 31 that illumination light is switched to R light from G light, between 1/3 of rotary filter 31 rotates, R light being carried out the step of opto-electronic conversion and being alternately repeated as the step that red image pickup signal reads.
In contrast, when special light image pattern, when being in the state that close shot is observed, as shown in Figure 7 B, being selected by rotary filter 31 between first blue narrow-band-domain light Bn1, namely rotary filter 31 1/4 rotate between, the first blue narrow-band-domain light Bn1 is carried out opto-electronic conversion and accumulates the step of signal charge and the step that this signal charge reads as the first blue narrow-band-domain image pickup signal is alternately repeated by with the cycle of regulation.When switching to the second blue narrow-band-domain light Bn2 in the rotation by rotary filter 31 from the first blue narrow-band-domain light Bn1, irradiating between this second blue narrow-band-domain light Bn2, namely rotary filter 31 1/4 rotate between, do not carry out the accumulation of signal charge and the reading of image pickup signal.
