In the 1st special display pattern, as shown in Figure 6B, light, G light, R light are determined with blue narrow band light BN, oxygen saturation Shoot the object of observation successively with photographing element 60, thus obtain blue narrow band signal BN, it is measure signal Bm, green G, red Chrominance signal R.It is such to act during the 1st special display pattern is set as repeatedly.Then, by believing these blue arrowbands Number BN, determine and carry out A/D conversion with signal Bm, green G, danger signal R, obtain blue arrowband view data BN, determine With view data Bm, green image data G, red image data R.
In the 2nd special display pattern, as shown in Figure 6 C, light, green are determined to B light, oxygen saturation with photographing element 60 Narrow band light GN, R light is imaged successively, so as to obtain blue signal B, measure signal Bm, green narrow band signal GN, danger signal R. It is such to act during the 2nd special display pattern is set as repeatedly.Then, by believing these blue signals B, measure Number Bm, green narrow band signal GN, danger signal R carry out A/D, obtain blue image data B1, measure view data Bm, green Arrowband view data GN, red image data R.
As described above, different view data, therefore the image procossing carried out by each pattern are obtained by each pattern Also it is each different.As shown in fig. 7, image processing part 72 possesses:The view data obtained during based on usual display pattern is carried out The view data that is obtained when the usual display pattern of image procossing is with image processing part 80, based on 1 special display pattern is entered The view data obtained when 1st special display pattern of row image procossing is with image processing part 81, based on 2 special display pattern To carry out the 2nd special display pattern image processing part 82 of image procossing.
Usual display pattern with image processing part 80 based on usual display pattern when obtain blue image data Bc, green View data Gc, red image data Rc are made usual image.The blue image data Bc of the usual image being made is divided The channel B of dispensing display device 14, green image data Gc is assigned to the G passages of display device 14, red image data R quilts Distribute to the R passages of display device 14.
1st special display pattern image processing part 81 possesses:Usual image generating unit 84, the 1st arrowband image generating unit 85 and oxygen saturation image generating unit 86.In the 1st special use image processing part 81, as shown in figure 8, being made by usual image Into portion 84 based on 1 special display pattern when obtained blue arrowband view data BN, measure view data Bm, green image Data G, red image data R are made usual image, and blueness arrowband view data BN is based on by the 1st arrowband image generating unit 85 And green image data G is made the 1st arrowband image, it is based on using by using determining by oxygen saturation image generating unit 86 Oxygen saturation obtained from view data Bm, green image data G, red image data R computing is made oxygen saturation figure Picture.
Usual 84 couples of blueness arrowband image BN of image generating unit and measure carry out synthesis processing with view data Bm, so that first First it is made synthesis blue image data.Next, generally image generating unit 84 passes through pairing au bleu view data, green image Data G and red image data G carries out synthesis processing to be made usual image.By the synthesis blue image in the usual image Channel B of the data distribution to display device 14, green image data G distributes to the G passages of display device 14, red image data R distributes to the R passages of display device 14.Thus, the visible ray of the corpse or other object for laboratory examination and chemical testing of full-color (full-color) is shown on usual image Picture.
Here, synthesis blue image data due to be not as prior art (for example, JP 2008-43604 publications) that Sample lifts lightness by gain process, but with the view data Bm of the measure with the information with identical blue bands Synthesis handle and lift lightness.Thus, compared with prior art uses the situation of gain process like that, in synthesis blueness figure As noise component(s) is few in data.In addition, the measure used in synthesis processing not only lifts the blueness of usual image with image The image quality of component, is additionally operable to calculate oxygen saturation.Therefore, measure image plays 2 functions with 1 image.
1st arrowband image generating unit 85 to blue arrowband view data BN and green image data G by carrying out at synthesis Reason, is made the 1st arrowband image for being highlighted superficial blood vessel.By by the blue arrowband view data in the 1st arrowband image BN distributes to B, G passage of display device 14, and green image data G distributes to the R passages of display device 14, can be shown with pseudo- colour display screen 1st arrowband image of the image comprising superficial blood vessel is overall (superficial blood vessel is shown with the color of " dark brown " tone).In addition, in order to The visual recognition of mid-deep strata blood vessel is improved in the 1st arrowband image, preferred pair green image data G is implemented as shown in Figure 9 Low~middle frequency frequency filter processing.So using low~middle frequency frequency filter processing be because mid-deep strata blood vessel with Superficial blood vessel is compared to thicker.
Oxygen saturation image processing part 86 possesses:Strength ratio calculating section 86a, dependency relation storage part 86b, oxygen saturation are calculated Go out portion 86c and image production part 86d.Strength ratio calculating section 86a asks for measure view data Bm and green image data G's Strength ratio B/G and red image data R and green image data G strength ratio R/G.In strength ratio calculating section 86a, calculate Go out the strength ratio between the pixel of same position between view data, in addition, whole pixels to view data calculate intensity Than.Strength ratio is calculated alternatively, it is also possible to the pixel only to the vasculature part in view data.In this case, based on blood vessel portion Point view data and the difference of view data of part beyond it determine vasculature part.
Dependency relation storage part 86b stores the dependency relation of strength ratio B/G and R/G and oxygen saturation.The dependency relation As shown in Figure 10, stored with the two-dimentional sheet form for the contour that oxygen saturation is defined on two-dimensional space.The position of the contour, Shape is obtained by the physical analogy of light scattering, is defined with correspondingly being changed with blood flow volume.In addition, strength ratio B/G, R/G is stored in log engineer's scales form.
Above-mentioned dependency relation dissipates with oxyhemoglobin as shown in Figure 11, the extinction characteristic of reduced hemoglobin and light Penetrate characteristic closely related.Here, curve 90 represents the absorptivity of oxyhemoglobin, curve 91 represents reduced hemoglobin Absorptivity.For example, under the big wavelength of the difference of the such absorptivitys of 473nm, it is easy to obtain the information of oxygen saturation.But, Measure comprising signal corresponding with 473nm light with view data Bm not only to oxygen saturation, also have to blood flow volume it is high according to Lai Xing.Therefore, by except measure with view data Bm in addition to, also using according to the red that depends on blood flow volume and change View data R2, blue image data B2 and reference picture (benchmark view data) as red image data R2 it is green Strength ratio B/G and R/G obtained from color image data G2, can correctly ask for oxygen saturation independent of blood flow volume.
In addition, the light of 470~700nm wave-length coverages has, the scattering coefficient in mucosal tissue is small and wavelength dependency is small Property.Thus, by the way that the light of the wave-length coverage is used as illumination light, the influence of the depth of blood vessel can be reduced, and can obtain To the blood information comprising blood flow volume and the information of oxygen saturation.
Alternatively, it is also possible to also store the dependency relation of strength ratio R/G and blood flow volume in dependency relation storage part 86b.The phase Pass relation as the bigger blood flow volumes of strength ratio R/G it is also bigger the dimensional table that is defined store.Strength ratio R/G and blood The dependency relation of amount is used blood flow volume when calculating.
Oxygen saturation calculating section 86c is calculated using the dependency relation for being stored in dependency relation storage part 86b and by strength ratio Strength ratio B/G, R/G that portion 86a is tried to achieve, to ask for the oxygen saturation in each pixel.In addition, in the following description, oxygen is satisfied With degree calculate the middle measure used view data Bm, green image data G, red image data R given pixel it is bright Angle value is set to B*、G*、R*.Accompany with this, strength ratio turns into B in each pixel*/G*、R*/G*
Oxygen saturation calculating section 86c as shown in figure 12, according to the dependency relation for being stored in dependency relation storage part 86b, really Fixed and strength ratio B*/G*、R*/G*Corresponding corresponding points P.Then, the contour of the boundary of oxygen saturation=0% is in corresponding points P In the case of between the contour 89 of 88 and oxygen saturation=100% boundary, the percent value shown in corresponding points P is set to oxygen and satisfied And degree.If for example, Figure 12 situation, then be located on 60% contour due to corresponding points P, therefore oxygen saturation turns into 60%.
On the other hand, in the case where corresponding points depart between contour 88 and contour 89, it is located in corresponding points contour During 88 top of line, oxygen saturation is set to 0%, when corresponding points are located at below contour 89, oxygen saturation is set to 100%. In addition, in the case where corresponding points depart between contour 88 and contour 89, oxygen saturation in the pixel can also be made Reliability declines not appearing in display device 14.
Image production part 86d is used by the oxygen saturation calculating section 86c oxygen saturations calculated and by usual image generating unit The 84 usual images being made, to generate the oxygen saturation image for making oxygen saturation image conversion.It is right in image production part 86d The pixel value b of synthesis blue image data in usual image, green image data G pixel value g, red image data R Pixel value r implements gain corresponding with oxygen saturation.
As shown in figure 12, in the case of high oxygen condition of the oxygen saturation for more than 60%, to pixel value b, g, r any Person implements identical gain " 1 ".On the other hand, in the case of hypoxia of the oxygen saturation less than 60%, to pixel value b Implement the gain of not enough " 1 ", on the other hand, the gain of " 1 " is performed more than to pixel value g, r.The usual image is implemented and oxygen Image obtained from the corresponding gain of saturation degree turns into oxygen saturation image.By the pixel value b distribution in the oxygen saturation image To the channel B of display device 14, pixel value g distributes to the G passages of display device 14, and pixel value r distributes to the R of display device 14 Passage.Thus, oxygen saturation image is in high oxygen condition, with whole with a corpse or other object for laboratory examination and chemical testing of the usual image identical color displays comprising blood vessel Body, on the other hand, in hypoxia, shows vasculature part with the pseudo- colour display screen that cyan is adjusted.
As shown in fig. 7, the 2nd special display pattern image processing part 82 possesses:Usual image generating unit 94, the 2nd arrowband Image generating unit 95 and oxygen saturation image generating unit 96.In the 2nd special display pattern with image processing part 82, such as scheme Shown in 14, by usual image generating unit 94 based on 2 special display pattern when obtained blue image data B, measure image Data Bm, green arrowband view data GN, red image data R are made usual image, by the base of the 2nd arrowband image generating unit 95 The 2nd arrowband image is made with view data Bm and green arrowband view data GN in measure, is made by oxygen saturation image Portion 96 by using measure with view data Bm, green arrowband view data GN and red image data R computing based on being obtained To oxygen saturation be made oxygen saturation image.

Thus, the visible ray picture of a full-color corpse or other object for laboratory examination and chemical testing is shown on usual image.
Here, synthesis green image data is identical with synthesis blue image data, due to being lifted without using gain process Lightness, but it is bright to be lifted with view data Bm synthesis processing with the measure with the information with identical green bands Degree, therefore noise component(s) is few.In addition, the measure used in synthesis processing not only lifts the G components of usual image with image Image quality, also used in calculating for oxygen saturation.Therefore, measure image plays 2 functions with 1 image.
2nd arrowband image generating unit 95 to blue image data B and green arrowband view data GN by carrying out at synthesis Reason, is made the 2nd arrowband image for being highlighted mid-deep strata blood vessel.By by the blue image data B in the 2nd arrowband image B, G passage of display device 14 are distributed to, green arrowband view data GN distributes to the R passages of display device 14, so that with puppet Colour display screen shows that overall (mid-deep strata blood vessel is shown the 2nd arrowband image of the image comprising mid-deep strata blood vessel with the color of " cyan " tone Show).In addition, the visual recognition in order to improve display blood vessel in the 2nd arrowband image, as shown in figure 15, preferred pair blue image Data B implements high-frequency frequency filter processing.So handled using high-frequency frequency filter is because superficial blood vessel is with Deep-level blood vessel is compared to thinner.
Oxygen saturation image generating unit 96 possesses:Strength ratio calculating section 96a, dependency relation storage part 96B, oxygen saturation are calculated Go out portion 96c and image production part 96d.In strength ratio calculating section 96a, according to measure view data Bm and green arrowband figure As data calculate strength ratio B/G, strength ratio R/G is calculated according to red image data R and green image data G.Then, based on this Strength ratio B/G, the R/G calculated and the dependency relation for being stored in dependency relation storage part 96B, to calculate oxygen saturation.Here, phase Pass relation storage part 96B dependency relation (dependency relation storage roughly the same with dependency relation storage part 86b dependency relation In portion 96B dependency relation, the wavelength component of " G " of strength ratio turns into arrowband).
Then, image production part 96d uses the oxygen saturation calculated by oxygen saturation calculating section 96 and made by usual image The usual image that is made into portion 94 generates oxygen saturation image.In image production part 96d, to the picture of blue image data Plain value b, synthesis green image data G pixel value g, red image data R pixel value r implement increase corresponding with oxygen saturation Benefit is managed.Gain process is identical with the processing carried out by image production part 96d (referring to Figure 13).Then, with image production part 86d It is identical, the pixel value b after gain process is distributed to the channel B of display device 14, the pixel value g after gain process is distributed to The G passages of display device 14, the pixel value r after gain process are distributed to the R passages of display device 14.Thus, in display dress Putting 14 displays makes the oxygen saturation image of the pseudo- coloured silkization of the blood vessel of hypoxia.
Next, illustrating a series of flow in present embodiment along Figure 16 flow chart, especially with regard to the 1st The a series of flow of special display pattern.In addition, on the 2nd special display pattern, due to also with the 1st special display pattern Situation is identical, therefore omits the description.Under usual display pattern, by endoscope apparatus 12 be inserted into vivo, such as digest tube It is interior.Observer leading section 19 is arranged on by desired look-out station by angulation knob 16a operation, generally observed. In the usual observation, broadband light BB light path is arranged on the 1st filter areas 37.Thus, with B light, G light, R light successively according to In a bright corpse or other object for laboratory examination and chemical testing, and colored usual image obtained from the display of display device 14 is shot with photographing element 60.
Then, in the case where look-out station is speculated as into lesion, cut by the switching switch 21 of endoscope apparatus 12 Change to the 1st special display pattern.By the pattern switching, broadband light BB light path is arranged on the 2nd filter areas 38.By This, determines light, G light, R light from the blue narrow band light BN of the outgoing of rotary filter 31, oxygen saturation successively.By the light of outgoing successively according to A corpse or other object for laboratory examination and chemical testing is penetrated, its reflection image is shot successively with photographing element 60.By the shooting, blue arrowband view data BN is obtained, determines and uses View data Bm, green image data G, red image data R.
Then, synthesis blueness arrowband view data BN and measure are made synthesis blue image data with view data Bm, The synthesis blue image data that is made based on this, green image data G, red image data R are made usual image.In addition, The 1st arrowband image for highlighting superficial blood vessel is made based on blue arrowband view data BN and green image data G.In addition, The oxygen condition image conversion that makes blood vessel is made with view data Bm, green image data G, red image data R based on measure Oxygen saturation image.These usual images, the 1st arrowband image, oxygen saturation image 3 kinds of images as shown in Figure 17, it is horizontal Shown simultaneously to arrangement.As long as the 1st special display pattern continues, a series of action of the above is just repeated.In addition, logical Normal image, the 1st arrowband image, oxygen saturation image, can also at regular intervals 1 in addition to show as shown in Figure 17 simultaneously Show individual 1 image of image.
As described above, scheme to almost obtain usual image, the 1st arrowband image, this 3 kinds of oxygen saturation image simultaneously Picture, generally, this 3 frame of blue image data, green image data, red image data is needed in order to be made usual image The image of part, the blue arrowband view data of 1 frame part is at least needed to be made the 1st arrowband image, in order to be made oxygen saturation Spend image and need the measure view data of at least 1 frame part.That is, in order to simultaneously obtain/while show 3 kinds of images, minimum Degree needs the view data of 5 frames part.
On the other hand, in the present invention, as the blue image of usual image, using the blue arrowband view data of synthesis and Measure replaces blue image data with blue image data is synthesized obtained from view data.Thus, due to no longer needing indigo plant The acquirement of color image data, therefore, compared with normal conditions, can be come with to have lacked 4 frames of 1 frame and meanwhile obtain usual image, it is the 1st narrow Band image, oxygen saturation image.In addition, not being to lift indigo plant using with gain process etc. as the blue image of usual image The image of the lightness of color arrowband view data, but improve lightness using with the synthesis processing with measure view data Image, therefore high image quality and noise is few.
In addition, in above-mentioned 1st embodiment, in 1 special display pattern, acquirement is highlighted with blue narrow band light BN 1st arrowband image of superficial blood vessel, in 2 special display pattern, acquirement highlights mid-deep strata blood vessel with green narrow band light GN The 2nd arrowband image, but in the 3rd special display pattern of the 2nd embodiment, obtain and use blueness narrow band light BN and green Narrow band light GN highlights both the 3rd arrowband images of superficial blood vessel and mid-deep strata blood vessel.In 1st embodiment, substitution rotation Filter 31 and use Figure 18 shown in rotary filter 100.Rotary filter 100 is centered on rotary shaft 100a, along straight Footpath direction sets the 1st filter areas 37 and the 4th filter areas 101.1st filter areas 37 possesses and rotary filter 31 Identical B filters portion 37a, G filter portion 37b, R filter portion 37c.
4th filter areas 101 possesses:With being emphasized with superficial blood vessel with wave filter portion 38a identicals through characteristic Superficial blood vessel is emphasized with wave filter portion 101a, with the oxygen that characteristic is passed through with oxygen saturation measure filter portion 38b identicals Saturation degree measure with filter portion 101B, with mid-deep strata blood vessel emphasize with filter portion 39c identicals pass through characteristic in Deep-level blood vessel is emphasized with filter portion 101c and special with being passed through with R filters portion 38d (or filter portion 39d) identical The R filters portion 101d of property.Therefore, when broadband light BB is arranged on into 4 filter areas 101, rotary filter 100 is passed through Rotate to irradiate blue narrow band light BN successively, oxygen saturation determines light, green narrow band light GN, R light.Then, by a corpse or other object for laboratory examination and chemical testing Imaged when irradiating each illumination light, obtain blue arrowband view data BN, measure view data Bm, green arrowband picture number According to GN, red image data R.
Then, as shown in figure 19, based on blue arrowband view data BN, measure view data Bm, green arrowband image Data GN, red image data R are made usual image, based on blue arrowband view data BN and green arrowband view data GN is made the 3rd arrowband image, for oxygen saturation image, based on by using measure view data Bm, green arrowband Oxygen saturation obtained from view data GN, red image data R computing is made oxygen saturation image.
Here, when being made usual image, being synthesized to blue arrowband view data BN with measure with view data Bm Processing is carried out at synthesis to be made synthesis blue image data to green arrowband view data GN and measure with view data Bm Manage to be made synthesis green image data.Then, based on synthesis blue image data, synthesis green image data, red image Data are made usual image.Because the blue image and green image of usual image are not to blue arrowband view data BN And green arrowband view data GN has carried out image obtained from gain process, but add the conjunction of measure view data Into image, therefore high image quality and noise is few.
In addition, the 3rd arrowband image is obtained by synthesizing blueness arrowband view data BN and green arrowband view data GN. Blue arrowband view data BN in 3rd arrowband image is distributed to B, G passage of display device 14, green arrowband picture number The R passages of display device 14 are distributed to according to GN.Thus, the 3rd arrowband image shows superficial blood vessel with the pseudo- colour display screen of " dark brown " tone, with " cyan " tone puppet colour display screen shows mid-deep strata blood vessel.
The computing of oxygen saturation image, based on strength ratio B/ of the measure with view data Bm and green arrowband view data GN G, red image data R are carried out with green arrowband view data GN strength ratio R/G.It is identical with the 1st embodiment, using strong Degree calculates oxygen saturation than the dependency relation of B/G, R/G and oxygen saturation.Then, schemed by the synthesis blueness to usual image Pixel value b, the pixel value g for synthesizing green image data, red image data R pixel value r as data implement to calculate with this The corresponding gain of oxygen saturation, obtain oxygen saturation image.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, only pseudo- coloured silk shows the blood vessel of hypoxia in oxygen saturation image, but Can pseudo- colour display screen show that the corpse or other object for laboratory examination and chemical testing including the blood vessel comprising hypoxia is overall.In this case, the oxygen shape of blood vessel is preferably corresponded to State, which predefines pseudo- color color, (such as, with the blood vessel of " red " display hyperoxia, with the reduction of oxygen saturation, makes the color of blood vessel Gradually " band is blue ", show that oxygen saturation is less than the blood vessel of hypoxemia as 60% with " indigo plant ").
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, (being determined based on the view data from 3 wavelength part with view data Bm, green figure As data G, red image data R) obtained strength ratio B/G, R/G carries out calculating for oxygen saturation, but it is also possible to take and generation It, the strength ratio only obtained with the view data (determining with blue image data Bm, green image data G) according to 2 wavelength part B/G carries out calculating for oxygen saturation.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, using oxygen in blood flow volume (oxyhemoglobin and reduced hemoglobin sum) Close hemoglobin proportion to be oxygen saturation to generate oxygen saturation image, but it is also possible to replace or on this basis, Using the oxyhemoglobin index tried to achieve by " blood flow volume × oxygen saturation (%) ", by " blood flow volume × (100- oxygen saturations) The reduced hemoglobin index that (%) " is tried to achieve.
