The surgical light 7 is attached to the joint arm. By bending the joint arm, the surgeon can move the surgical light 7 up and down or left and right and place it in an appropriate position.

  The photographing unit 8 is attached to the surgical light 7. The imaging unit 8 images the patient's oral cavity brightly illuminated by the surgical light 7, performs appropriate image processing, and causes the monitor 6 to display the oral image. By displaying such an oral image on the monitor 6, for example, the surgeon can explain symptoms to the patient while looking at the monitor 6 at the time of medical care. In addition, during treatment, an operator may take a picture of the treatment and display it on the monitor 6. Further, the photographing unit 8 may be attached to the joint arm and disposed in the vicinity of the surgical light 7.

  The photographing unit 8 has a function of photographing so as to include the entire facial face of the patient or the operator and transmitting the facial image data of the patient or the operator to the control unit 9. As will be described later, the patient or operator's face image data transmitted to the control unit 9 is used by the medical medical device 100 to identify (specify) the patient or operator. In addition, although the imaging | photography part 8 may be comprised with the single camera, you may provide separately the camera for image | photographing a patient, and the camera for image | photographing an operator. Moreover, the imaging | photography part 8 may be separately provided with the camera which image | photographs a patient's oral cavity part, and the camera which image | photographs a patient or an operator's facial appearance.

  The medical treatment apparatus 100 includes an operation stool 81 on which an operator is seated. A plurality of rollers are attached to the bottom of the operations stool 81. The operation stool 81 can freely move around the patient seat 1 by this roller. An operator detection unit 81S is attached to the seating surface of the operation stool 81 in order to detect the operator's seating. The operator detection unit 81S is configured by, for example, a pressure sensor, an optical sensor, a temperature sensor, or the like embedded in the seating surface portion of the operation stool 81. When detecting the operator's seating, the operator detection unit 81S transmits a detection signal to the imaging unit 8. Note that the detection signal output from the operator detection unit 81S may be transmitted to the imaging unit 8 via the control unit 9.

  In the above embodiment, the imaging unit 8 captures a region (around the patient sheet 1) through which the patient or the operator passes, and the image recognition unit 96 analyzes the acquired image data, thereby obtaining the patient or the operator. May be recognized.

  The imaging unit 8 captures a face image of a patient or operator sitting on the patient seat 1 or the operation stool 81. Then, the face image data of the patient or the operator is transmitted to the control unit 9. In the face image data transmitted to the control unit 9, a patient or an operator is specified by the personal recognition unit 92. When it is specified that the patient is a patient, content corresponding to the patient is reproduced as will be described later. Further, if the operator is specified, the content corresponding to the patient sitting on the patient seat 1 displayed on the monitor 6 may be switched to the chart information.

{Control part}
The control unit 9 is configured as a general computer including a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and the like. The control unit 9 has a function of controlling the operation of each element constituting the medical table 10. The control unit 9 performs identification processing of the patient and the operator and controls the drive unit of the elements constituting the medical table 10 by the CPU operating according to a predetermined program. The control unit 9 may be provided outside the medical table 10 or may be built in the medical table 10.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 9 includes an image processing unit 91, a personal recognition unit 92, a drive condition setting unit 93, a drive control unit 94 (a sheet drive control unit 941, a spitone drive control unit 942, a medical instrument drive control. Part 943.). The control unit 9 also functions as an image recognition unit 96 and a power supply control unit 97. These functions are realized by the CPU provided in the control unit 9 operating according to a predetermined program. Note that some or all of these functions may be implemented as hardware by configuring them as dedicated circuits.

  The control unit 9 is connected to a storage unit 95 having a recording medium such as a hard disk. The control unit 9 and the storage unit 95 are connected via various networks such as a LAN (Local Area Network), an intranet, and the Internet. In addition, by providing the storage unit 95 with a function as a server, various types of data used in the medical treatment apparatus 100 can be centrally managed in the storage unit 95. Thereby, it becomes easy to share the data held by the storage unit 95 between the control unit 9 and other terminals (not shown) other than the control unit 9. Therefore, the degree of freedom for data acquisition and data storage can be increased. The storage unit 95 may be provided inside the control unit 9.

  The image processing unit 91 performs various image processing for image recognition, such as contrast adjustment and feature extraction, on an image (face image data) including the face of a patient or an operator sent from the imaging unit 8. Do. The face image processing data acquired by this image processing is passed to the personal recognition unit 92.

  The personal recognition unit 92 searches the personal information 951 stored in the storage unit 95 for data that matches the face image processing data. To see if there is matching data. The individual-specific information 951 is a set of information (database) in which various types of information related to a plurality of patients or a plurality of surgeons are collected. Based on the face image processing data acquired by the image processing unit 91, the personal recognition unit 92 identifies a patient or an operator who uses the medical table 10. That is, in this embodiment, the face image data of the patient or the operator acquired by the imaging unit 8 is used as identification information for specifying an individual.

  The individual-specific information 951 stores, for example, face image data, face image processing data, and medical record information about a patient in association with each patient.

  The patient's face image data is data representing a face image obtained by photographing the patient's face in advance by the photographing unit 8 or other photographing means. The face image processing data is data obtained by the image processing unit 91 performing image processing on the face image data.

  The medical record information corresponds to medical information required for treating a patient. Specifically, in the medical record information, in addition to name, age, gender, address, occupation, family composition, etc., it is described in general medical records such as disease name and main symptoms, treatment method, date of medical treatment, hospital visit history, etc. Consists of information. However, the medical chart information may be composed of only a part of these pieces of information, or may include other information.

  The individual-specific information 951 holds face image data about the surgeon and face image processing data in association with each surgeon as registration information related to the surgeon.

  The surgeon's face image data is data representing the surgeon's face image captured by the imaging unit 8 or other imaging means, similar to the above-described patient face image data. Further, the operator's face image processing data is data obtained by image processing of the face image data by the image processing unit 91, like the patient's face image processing data.

  The personal recognition unit 92 performs facial image processing obtained from the facial image data of the operator actually captured by the imaging unit 8 from the plurality of facial image processing data of the surgeon held in the individual-specific information 951. Search for data. Thereby, the operator (the person who treats a patient, a practitioner) who uses the medical treatment apparatus 100 is specified. Further, the personal information of the surgeon may be registered in the individual information 951. The personal information of the surgeon corresponds to, for example, information that can identify one surgeon from a plurality of surgeons such as the name of the surgeon. The personal information of the surgeon may be an identification code assigned to each of the plurality of surgeons.

  In the medical treatment apparatus 100, the driving conditions of each element of the treatment table 10 are registered in the individual information 951 for each patient or for each operator. Then, the driving conditions suitable for the patient or the operator identified by the individual recognition unit 92 are read from the individual information 951. The drive condition setting unit 93 sets the drive condition read from the individual information 951 as the drive condition for each element. Based on the set drive conditions, each drive unit of the medical treatment apparatus 100 operates.

  The image recognizing unit 96 recognizes whether the patient is seated on the patient seat 1 or left based on the image data photographed by the photographing unit 8. Specifically, a predetermined portion on the patient sheet 1 is imaged by the imaging unit 8 in a state where there is no patient (detection target) on the patient sheet 1. The image data acquired at this time is stored in the storage unit 95 or the like as reference image data for comparison. Then, when the image recognition unit 96 recognizes whether the patient is seated or left, the image capturing unit 8 captures the predetermined portion on the patient seat 1. Thereby, the image recognition part 96 acquires the image data for recognition. Then, the image recognition unit 96 determines whether or not there is a patient on the patient sheet 1 by comparing the recognition image data with the reference image data.

  When obtaining the image data for recognition, it is desirable that the photographing unit 8 performs photographing at the same angle as when the reference image data is obtained. Thereby, since an image can be compared on the same conditions, a detection system improves.

  Moreover, when determining whether a patient exists on the patient sheet | seat 1, the image image | photographed by the imaging | photography part 8 may be a comparatively low resolution image. That is, if it is only determined whether the patient is seated or left, the image quality of the reference image data and the recognition image data may be such that a difference on the patient seat 1 can be detected.

  In addition, when comparing the reference image data and the recognition image data, a single image data may be compared, or a plurality of image data may be compared. For example, a patient may be detected by using a plurality of image data obtained by continuously photographing in time for comparison. By making a determination using a plurality of image data in this way, it is possible to reduce shooting errors (such as noise) between images. Therefore, the recognition accuracy of the image recognition unit 96 can be improved.

  The image recognition unit 96 outputs a seating signal when it is determined that the patient has been seated, and outputs a seating signal when it is determined that the patient has left the seat. In the present embodiment, the seating signal is output toward the power control unit 97 and the photographing unit 8. Further, the away signal is output toward the power supply control unit 97.

  When the seating signal is transmitted to the imaging unit 8, the imaging unit 8 captures the facial image of the patient seated on the patient seat 1. The acquired patient face image data is transmitted to the image processing unit 91. Then, the image processing unit 91 performs image processing to acquire face image processing data. The personal recognition unit 92 identifies a patient seated on the patient sheet 1 based on the face image processing data. That is, the personal recognition unit 92 identifies a patient using the seating signal transmitted by the image recognition unit 96 as a trigger.

  The power supply control unit 97 controls the operation of the power supply unit of the monitor 6 and the operation of the power supply unit of the surgical light 7. The power of the monitor 6 or the surgical light 7 can be turned on or off under the control of the power control unit 97.

  In the present embodiment, when receiving a seating signal from the image recognition unit 96, the power supply control unit 97 outputs a control signal for starting power supply toward the power supply unit of the monitor 6 and the surgical light 7. Thereby, power supply is started. On the monitor 6, various information can be displayed. In the surgical light 7, the lamp is turned on, and it becomes possible to illuminate the patient (particularly the treatment site).

  In addition, when a leaving signal is transmitted from the image recognition unit 96, the power supply control unit 97 outputs a control signal for stopping power supply toward the power supply unit of the monitor 6 and the surgical light 7. Thereby, the power supply by each power supply part is stopped. Thereby, the display of various information is stopped on the monitor 6, and the lamp is turned off in the surgical light 7.

  Note that the power supply control unit 97 does not necessarily stop all power supply from the power supply unit in order to stop the display of various information on the monitor 6, and only turns off the power necessary for the display of various information. You may do it. That is, the power supply control unit 97 may stop only the power supply to some elements of the monitor 6 that stops the display on the monitor 6. For example, when the monitor 6 has a power management function for shifting to a standby state (power saving mode), the display of various information may be stopped by shifting to the power saving mode. Similarly, the operation light 7 may be configured to stop only the power supply to the part necessary for turning off the light.

  In the above embodiment, the power supply control unit 97 controls the operation of the power supply unit of the monitor 6 to turn off the power supply of the monitor 6. Thereby, the display of information on the monitor 6 is stopped. However, the display of information on the monitor 6 may be stopped by other methods. For example, when the image recognizing unit 96 recognizes that the patient has left the seat, the display control unit may change the display content of the monitor 6 to stop displaying the information that has been performed so far. Specifically, the content of part or all of the image displayed on the screen may be switched to another screen. At this time, for example, by stopping the display of the chart information, it is possible to prevent the patient's personal information from being seen by others. Thereby, leakage of personal information can be suppressed.

  The storage unit 95 stores content data 952. In the present embodiment, the content data 952 is configured as an aggregate of a plurality of video contents prepared according to the patient's age and sex. Specifically, when the patient's age is subdivided by age, such as less than 1 year, 1 year to less than 6 years, 6 years to less than 12 years, 12 years to less than 15 years old, etc., Video content corresponding to each generation is prepared. Furthermore, video content for men and video content for women are prepared for each generation. Note that the video content is reproduced when the imaging unit 8 acquires that the patient is seated on the patient seat 1. Specifically, in the medical treatment apparatus 100, first, the seating of the patient is detected by the image recognition unit 96, and then the patient seated on the patient sheet 1 is identified by the personal recognition unit 92. Then, the video content corresponding to the age and sex of the patient is read from the content data 952. Information regarding the age and sex of the patient is acquired from the chart information stored in the individual information 951. Then, the read video content is reproduced on the monitor 6. In the present embodiment, the monitor 6 corresponds to a content reproduction unit.

  For example, when the patient is a child, a video in which a character for children appears. You can also make boys and girls. Thereby, it can be expected that the fear of the patient is removed to some extent before the treatment is started. Therefore, even if the patient is a child, it is possible to spend a significant amount of time during the waiting time. In addition, when the patient is a woman in their late teens to 30s, an image relating to esthetic dentistry treatment or orthodontic treatment is reproduced. When the patient is an elderly person, a video related to periodontal disease prevention is reproduced. The patient can view the video content corresponding to the patient's age from the time the user sits on the patient seat 1 until the start of medical care. Therefore, the patient can obtain meaningful information during the waiting time, and can spend meaningful time.

  As specific video content, animation, movies, dramas, commercial videos, videos related to treatment, and the like are assumed. Of course, video contents of other genres may be prepared. The video content is not limited to a moving image, and may be composed of a still image.

  In the present embodiment, the content data 952 has been described as being composed of video content. However, the content data 952 may be composed of audio-only content (audio content) such as music and narrative (speech, performance, etc.). In this case, the audio content corresponding to the age or sex of the patient is reproduced from an audio output unit (not shown) such as a speaker. The audio output unit corresponds to the content reproduction unit.

  Furthermore, the content data 952 may be configured with content corresponding to only the age of the patient or only the gender of the patient. Further, the content data 952 may be configured with content corresponding to other characteristics other than the age and sex of the patient. For example, the content data 952 may be configured with content corresponding to the patient's symptoms, address, family structure, and the like. Moreover, it is possible to reproduce contents registered in advance according to the patient's preference.

  In the medical treatment apparatus 100, as shown in FIG. 2, a sheet drive unit 1M, a spitone drive unit 2M, and a medical instrument drive unit 4M are provided as drive units of elements constituting the clinical table 10. The control unit 9 includes a seat drive control unit 941, a spitton drive control unit 942, and a medical instrument drive control unit 943 as the drive control unit 94 that controls these drive units. The drive control part 94 controls the drive part of the element which comprises the diagnostic table 10 based on the set drive conditions. In the present embodiment, the driving conditions for the patient seat 1, the driving conditions for the spitting 2, and the driving conditions for the medical instrument 4 are set. These drive conditions are defined for each operator, for each patient, or for each combination of the patient and the operator, and are stored in the storage unit 95 as individual information 951. In the present embodiment, based on the identification result between the patient and the operator by the individual recognition unit 92, the driving conditions corresponding to the patient and the operator are read from the individual-specific information 951. Based on the read drive condition, the drive control unit 94 controls each drive unit. Here, a plurality of driving conditions assumed in the present embodiment will be described in detail.

FIG. 4 is a side view of the patient seat 1 when the patient uses the Spitton 2 (when using the Spitton). FIG. 5 is a side view of the patient seat 1 when the patient leaves the patient seat 1 (at the time of leaving).

  As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, in the present embodiment, the headrest 1 a, the backrest 1 b, the seat surface seat 1 c, and the footrest are driven by the drive mechanism (seat drive unit 1 </ b> M) attached to the patient seat 1. The base 1d can be displaced respectively.

  For example, the seat surface seat 1c can be changed in height (H) by an elevating mechanism built in the patient seat 1. Thereby, the height position of the upper surface of the seat surface sheet 1c which supports a patient's buttocks can be changed within a predetermined range. By raising and lowering the seat sheet 1c, the entire patient seat 1 can be displaced up and down.

  Further, the patient seat 1 includes a tilting mechanism that raises the backrest 1b with the connecting portion with the seating surface seat 1c as a fulcrum and moves the backrest 1b vertically downward. By this tilting mechanism, the tilt angle (J) of the backrest 1b with respect to the horizontal line HL can be adjusted.

  Further, the patient seat 1 includes a tilting mechanism that raises the footrest 1d to the upper side in the vertical direction or tilts the footrest 1d to the lower side in the vertical direction with the connection portion with the seat surface seat 1c as a fulcrum. By this tilting mechanism, the tilt angle (K) of the footrest 1d with respect to the horizontal line HL can be adjusted.

  Further, the patient seat 1 includes a tilting mechanism that raises the headrest 1a upward in the vertical direction with the connecting portion with the backrest 1b as a fulcrum, or tilts the headrest 1a downward in the vertical direction. By this tilting mechanism, the tilt angle (L) of the headrest 1a with respect to the backrest 1b can be adjusted.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the sheet driving unit 1 </ b> M is controlled by the sheet driving control unit 941 of the driving control unit 94. As for the configuration of the seat driving unit 1M that drives each part of the patient seat 1, it is possible to employ conventional known techniques and various similar techniques. For this reason, description of the detailed structure of the sheet drive unit 1M is omitted here.

  For example, during the dental treatment shown in FIG. 3, the optimal position of the patient's head may vary depending on the physique of the surgeon and the preference of the surgeon. The position of the patient's head can be adjusted mainly by changing the inclination angle (L) of the headrest 1a or changing the height (H) of the seat surface sheet 1c. In this embodiment, in order to arrange the position of the patient's head at a position suitable for treatment, the inclination angle (L) of the headrest 1a, the height (H) of the seat surface sheet 1c, and the like are set as driving conditions for each operator. Is set. Thereby, according to the operator who uses the medical treatment apparatus 100, it becomes possible to position a patient's head in the position (medical care position) where an operator is easy to treat.

  Also, the optimal position of the patient's head for the operator may differ depending on the size of the patient's head and the size of the mouth when the patient opens his / her mouth. In consideration of such points, the inclination angle (L) of the headrest 1a at the time of treatment, the height (H) of the seating surface sheet 1c, and the like are set as driving conditions for each combination of the operator and the patient. .

  Moreover, it is preferable that the positioning of each part of the patient seat 1 at the time of leaving the seat shown in FIG. 5 is set mainly according to the patient. For example, when a person with low stature or low physical strength (such as a child or an elderly person) is a patient, it is desired that the seat surface seat 1c be positioned so as to be lower than when a young person is a patient. . In this way, by setting the position of the seating sheet 1c for each patient when the patient is introduced (or at the time of leaving the seat), each patient can safely sit on the patient seat 1.

2. Displacement speed It is preferable that the displacement speed of each part of the patient seat 1 is set for each patient or for each operator. For example, when the patient is an elderly person or a child, it is desirable to set the tilting speed of the backrest 1b and the raising / lowering speed of the seat surface seat 1c to be slower than when the young person is a patient from the viewpoint of safety. There is a case. Also, depending on the surgeon, the preferred displacement speed may be different when adjusting the positioning of the patient seat 1. Therefore, in this embodiment, the displacement speed of each part of the patient seat 1 is set for each patient or each operator as a driving condition. Thereby, a patient's posture can be changed safely. The setting content of the displacement speed of each part of the patient sheet 1 is stored in the storage unit 95 as individual information 951 for each patient or for each operator. Of course, the displacement speed of each part of the patient seat 1 may be set for each combination of the patient and the surgeon.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the setting contents of the driving condition of the patient seat 1 according to the combination of the patient and the operator. FIG. 6 illustrates driving conditions for each combination of a patient (patient X, patient Y, patient X) and an operator (operator A, operator B, operator C). Note that the physiques of the surgeons A, B, and C are such that the physique of the surgeon A is relatively large, the surgeon B is medium, and the surgeon C is relatively small. It is assumed that patient X is a youth, patient Y is a child, and patient Z is an elderly person. The setting contents of the driving conditions shown in FIG. 6 are stored in the storage unit 95 as individual information 951.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, the tilting speed of the backrest 1b is set according to the physical strength of the patient. Specifically, the patient X who is a youth is set to “high speed”, and the patients Y and Z who are children or the elderly are set to “low speed”. Further, the height of the seating surface at the time of leaving the seat (the height of the upper surface of the seating surface sheet 1c) is set according to the physique of the patient and the like. Specifically, “high” is set for patient X, and “low” is set for patients Y and Z. The height of the seating surface at the time of treatment is set according to the physique of the surgeons A, B, and C. “Low” for the small surgeon A, “Medium” for the moderate surgeon B, The operator C is set to “high”.

  In this way, by enabling the drive conditions of each element to be set according to the patient and the surgeon, each drive unit of the clinical table 10 can be driven so as to suit both the surgeon and the patient. it can. As a result, the surgeon can perform medical care smoothly.

{Drive conditions for Spitton 2}
As in the case of the patient seat 1, the optimum position for each patient also differs for the position of the spitone 2. For example, the optimal height position of the spit-on bowl 21 when the patient gargles or the like varies depending on the height (or sitting height) of the patient. In addition, the location where patients are likely to gargle may vary from patient to patient. Therefore, it is desirable to optimize the height position and the horizontal position (horizontal position) of the Spitton bowl 21 for each patient. This makes it easier for the patient to use the Spitton 2 and makes it difficult for spills such as sputum, saliva, and sewage after rinsing the oral cavity to spill around the Spitton bowl 21.

  In the present embodiment, the spitstone bowl 21 is moved to a predetermined height position and a predetermined horizontal position in conjunction with the displacement of each part of the patient seat 1 when using the spitone. The predetermined height position and the predetermined horizontal position are stored in the storage unit 95 as individual information 951 for each patient. Here, the Spitton driving unit 2M that moves the Spitton bowl 21 to a predetermined height position and a predetermined horizontal position will be described in detail.

  FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing the internal configuration of the spitone 2. In FIG. 7, the state before the Spitton bowl 21 is raised and lowered and the state after it is raised are shown side by side. FIG. 8 is a plan view of the spittoon 2. In FIG. 8, the state before turning the spit-on bowl 21 and the state after turning are shown side by side.

  As already described, the spitton 2 includes the elevating mechanism 21M as the spitone drive unit 2M. As shown in FIG. 7, the elevating mechanism 21M includes a ball screw 211 connected to a motor 210 as a drive unit. The Spitton bowl 21 is fixed to a nut member 212 that is screwed into the ball screw. As the ball screw 211 rotates forward or backward, the nut member 212 moves up or down. In conjunction with the vertical movement of the nut member 212, the spit-on bowl 21 moves up and down. By such an elevating mechanism 21M, the height position of the spit-on bowl 21 is changed.

  Further, the Spitton 2 includes a rotation mechanism 22M as the Spitton drive unit 2M. The rotation mechanism 22M includes a motor 220 for rotating the spit-on bowl 21. From the motor 220, an output shaft 221 for transmitting power extends vertically upward. The output shaft 221 is connected to a turntable 222 that extends in the horizontal direction. Further, a drain pipe 21 a extends downward in the vertical direction from the bottom of the spit-on bowl 21. The drain pipe 21a is connected to a drain hose (not shown) that leads to a drain system outside the apparatus. The drain pipe 21 a passes through an eccentric position (a position away from the rotation center of the output shaft 221) of the rotating plate 222 and is connected and fixed to the rotating plate 222.

  When the output shaft 221 rotates forward (or reversely) by driving the motor 220, the rotating plate 222 rotates around the output shaft 221. With the rotation of the rotating plate 222, the drain pipe 21a rotates, and the spittoon bowl 21 rotates. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, after adjusting the height position of the Spitton bowl 21, as shown in FIG. 8, the Spitton bowl 21 is rotated so as to approach the patient side (patient seat 1 side). This makes it easier for patients to gargle. Moreover, since it can suppress that the periphery is contaminated, it is advantageous also in terms of hygiene.

  The configuration of the above-mentioned spitone drive unit 2M is an example. Therefore, you may make it move the spittoon bowl 21 to a predetermined position with another structure.

{Function assignment to the operation input section of the foot controller 5}
As described above, the operator can perform an operation of switching the position of each part of the patient seat 1 or driving the medical instrument 4 via the foot controller 5. The foot controller 5 is provided with a plurality of operation input units so that a plurality of input operations can be performed. Each input operation is assigned a function for causing a specific operation to be performed on the elements constituting the clinical table 10. The method of assigning this function can be changed for each operator. Since it becomes easy for each surgeon to operate each element constituting the medical table 10, it is possible to perform a medical practice smoothly. Here, the configuration of the foot controller 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10.

  FIG. 9 is an external view of the foot controller 5. FIG. 10 is a conceptual diagram for explaining an operation method of the foot controller 5. As shown in FIG. 9, the foot controller 5 includes a pedal 5a and switches 5b, 5c, 5d, 5e, and 5f as operation input units.

  The pedal 5 a is provided below the center of the foot controller 5. The pedal 5a is configured so that one type of input operation can be performed by pressing with a foot (input operation 1). The switch 5b is provided at the center of the foot controller 5 and above the pedal 5a. The switch 5b is configured to perform four types of input operations by being pushed in each of the four directions as shown in FIG. 10 (input operation 2 to input operation 5).

  Switches 5c and 5d are provided on both sides of the switch 5b. The switches 5c and 5d can be pushed in the vertical direction with the center portion as a fulcrum, and are configured to perform two types of input operations (input operations 6 and 7, input operations 8 and 9). ). Further, switches 5e and 5f are provided on both the left and right sides of the pedal 5a. The switches 5e and 5f can be pushed in the left-right direction with the center portion as a fulcrum, and are configured to perform two types of input operations (input operations 10, 11 and input operations 12, 13). ).

  As described above, the foot controller 5 according to this embodiment is configured to perform a total of 13 types (input operations 1 to 13) of input operations. However, in the foot controller 5, switches (including pedals) may be added or some of them may be omitted. Further, the specific operation method of the switches is not limited to the operation method of physically pushing in as described above. For example, the input operation may be completed only by contact using a touch sensor constituted by an electric sensor, an optical sensor, or the like.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram specifically illustrating functions assigned to the input operations 1 to 13 for the foot controller 5. In FIG. 11, contents for the surgeon A and the surgeon B are shown. These contents are stored in the storage unit 95 as individual-specific information 951. As shown in FIG. 11, for each of the input operation 1 to the input operation 13, a function for executing a specific operation is assigned to the drive unit that drives each element constituting the medical table 10.

  For example, in the contents for the surgeon A, the function “ON / OFF switching of driving of each medical instrument, speed adjustment” is assigned to the input operation 1. That is, when the input operation 1 (depression of the pedal 5a) is performed, the medical instrument drive unit 4M is driven. Thereby, control which operates or stops the medical instrument 4 can be performed. When the medical instrument drive unit 4M includes a rotation drive unit or the like, the rotation speed of the rotation drive unit may be adjusted according to the depression amount or depression time of the pedal 5a. . At this time, the relationship between the depression amount (or depression time) and the rotation speed may be set to be different for each operator. For example, the surgeon A can use a variable speed, and another surgeon B can use a constant speed.

  In the setting for the operator A, the input operation 2 is “switching of the position of the patient seat”. That is, in the setting for the operator A, when the input operation 2 is performed (that is, the switch 5b is pushed upward), each part of the patient seat 1 is positioned at, for example, the positions shown in FIGS. Are sequentially displaced. In addition, although the description of the input operations 3 to 13 is omitted, like the input operations 1 and 2, the driving contents of the elements constituting the clinical table 10 are assigned to each.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the operation content of the drive unit assigned to the input operation 1 to the input operation 13 can be made different for each operator. For example, in the setting for the surgeon A, “switching of patient seat position” is assigned to the input operation 2. However, in the setting for the surgeon B, this function is assigned to the input operation 6. Instead, in the setting for the surgeon B, a function of “switching the displacement speed of the patient sheet at high speed” is assigned to the input operation 2. That is, in the setting for the operator B, the input operation 2 is performed, whereby the displacement speed of each part of the patient seat 1 is changed from low speed to high speed.

  In the setting for the surgeon A, the functions “move each part of the medical table to the gargle position” and “move to the position immediately before moving each part of the medical table to the gargle position” are assigned. This input operation is executed when each part of the patient seat 1 is moved to the position when using the spitone shown in FIG. 4 or when the spitn 2 is moved to the gargle position. On the other hand, in the setting for the surgeon B, these functions are not assigned to the input operations 1 to 13. Instead, the operation content of the drive unit that is not assigned in the setting for the surgeon A such as “ON / OFF switching of water injection to the medical device” or “switching the rotation direction of the rotational drive unit of the medical device” is the input operation 12. , 13.

  The assignment of the drive content of the drive unit to each of the input operations 1 to 13 as described above is executed by the drive condition setting unit 93 as shown in FIG. Specifically, when an operator is identified by the individual recognition unit 92, the assigned contents of the input operations 1 to 13 corresponding to the operator are read from the individual-specific information 951. The drive condition setting unit 93 is driven by the drive control unit 94 according to the operation signal of the foot controller 5 corresponding to each of the input operations 1 to 13 (the seat drive unit 1M, the spitone drive unit 2M, the medical instrument drive). The operation of the drive control unit 94 is defined so as to control the unit 4M).

{Driving conditions for medical device 4}
The driving condition of the medical instrument 4 is set for each operator or for each patient. For example, when the medical instrument 4 is an air turbine handpiece or a micromotor handpiece provided with a rotation drive unit, the maximum value of the rotation speed is set for each operator. Moreover, even if the surgeon is the same person, the surgeon may be able to change the maximum value of the rotational speed for each patient. In this case, driving conditions are set for each combination of the operator and the patient. Further, even when the combination of the operator and the patient matches, the driving condition of the medical instrument 4 may be changed according to the medical treatment content, for example. What is necessary is just to record the medical treatment content which should be implemented with respect to a patient beforehand, for example to medical chart information. In this case, it is possible to identify the medical treatment content by referring to the medical chart information.

  The above is the description of the driving conditions when driving each element. Next, the operation of the medical treatment apparatus 100 from before the start of medical treatment by the operator to after the end of medical treatment will be described.

{Operation of medical device before medical treatment and after medical treatment}
FIG. 12 is a flowchart of a series of operations of the medical diagnostic apparatus 100 from before the start of medical treatment to after the end of medical treatment. In addition, operation | movement of the medical treatment apparatus 100 demonstrated below shall be performed based on control of the control part 9, unless there is particular notice.

  First, the medical treatment apparatus 100 starts photographing by the photographing unit 8 (step S100). At this time, in order to detect whether or not the patient is seated on the patient seat 1, imaging is performed so as to include the patient seat 1. The patient seat 1 at this time is arranged such that the backrest 1b stands and the end of the footrest 1d hangs downward. Note that the state of the patient seat 1 at this time is close to the patient seat 1 at the time of leaving the patient shown in FIG. However, the position of each part of the patient sheet 1 shown in FIG. 5 is set according to each patient as described above. On the other hand, at the time of step S100 (that is, the time before the patient is seated), the patient is not yet identified. Moreover, the position of each part of the patient seat 1 when seated is not set for each patient. For this reason, the position of the patient seat 1 at this time is preferably set so that patients of all ages can sit safely.

  Next, the medical treatment apparatus 100 determines whether or not the patient is seated on the patient sheet 1 (step S101). Specifically, whether or not the patient exists on the patient sheet 1 is determined by image recognition by the image recognition unit 96. When it is determined that the patient is not seated, the medical medical device 100 repeatedly executes step S101 until the patient is seated.

  When it is determined in step S101 that the patient is seated on the patient sheet 1, the medical medical device 100 captures the patient's facial image by the imaging unit 8, and acquires the patient's facial image data (step S102). Then, based on the acquired face image data, the medical medical device 100 inquires whether data corresponding to the patient is registered in the individual information 951 (step S103). Specifically, the medical medical device 100 performs image processing on the face image data by the image processing unit 91 and acquires face image processing data. The personal information 951 is searched (inquired) for data that matches the face image processing data.

  As a result of the inquiry in step S103, the medical diagnosis apparatus 100 determines whether there is matching data in the individual information 951 (step S104). If there is no matching data, the medical diagnostic apparatus 100 returns to step S102 and performs the operations of steps S102 to S104 again. As a result, new face image data is acquired, and an inquiry based on the face image data is performed.

  When matching data is found in step S104, the medical medical device 100 sets the driving conditions of each element of the medical medical device 100 to the specified driving conditions for the patient (step S105). Specifically, for example, the tilting speed of the backrest 1b of the patient seat 1, the ascending / descending speed of the seat surface seat 1c, the positioning of each part of the patient seat 1 at the time of medical treatment, when using spits, or when leaving the seat are set.

  In addition, the medical medical device 100 turns on the power of the monitor 6 under the control of the power control unit 97 (step S106). When the display preparation of the monitor 6 is completed by turning on the power, the medical diagnostic apparatus 100 reads out the video content corresponding to the age and sex of the patient specified in step S104 from the content data 952 and reproduces it on the monitor 6 (step S107).

  While the video content is being reproduced, the medical medical device 100 detects the surgeon (step S108). Specifically, the operator is detected by an operator detection unit 81S attached to the operation stool 81. Instead of detecting the surgeon by the surgeon detection unit 81S, the surgeon may be detected by image analysis in the image taken by the imaging unit 8. Further, an input unit for notifying the medical treatment apparatus 100 that the surgeon has arrived may be provided, and the operator may be detected by monitoring the operation of the input unit.

  When an operator is detected in step S108, the medical diagnostic apparatus 100 identifies the operator (step S109). Details of step S109 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart of a series of operations of the medical medical device 100 for identifying an operator. In order to identify the surgeon, the medical treatment apparatus 100 first determines whether or not the surgeon has been detected. Specifically, the medical diagnosis apparatus 100 determines whether or not the surgeon is detected at a predetermined position around the patient sheet 1 by the surgeon detection unit 81S. In step S201, an operator may be detected by analyzing an image acquired by the imaging unit 8 or other imaging means (not shown).

  If an operator is not detected in step S201, the medical diagnostic apparatus 100 repeatedly executes step S201 until the operator is detected. When the surgeon is detected, the medical treatment apparatus 100 captures the facial image of the surgeon by the imaging unit 8 and acquires the facial image data of the surgeon (step S202).

  The face image data acquired in step S202 is used as identification information for specifying the surgeon. Specifically, the medical treatment apparatus 100 inquires whether the photographed surgeon is registered in the individual information 951 (step S203). More specifically, the acquired face image data is subjected to image processing by the image processing unit 91 to generate face image processing data. Data that matches the generated face image processing data is searched for in the individual-specific information 951.

  Based on the inquiry result in step S203, the medical treatment apparatus 100 determines whether there is data that matches the face image processing data acquired in the individual information 951 (step S204). If there is matching data, the medical treatment apparatus 100 reads the driving condition corresponding to the operator from the individual-specific information 951, and sets each element to be driven according to the driving condition (step S205). Thereby, the drive condition of each element is set for the identified operator. Specifically, positioning of each part of the patient seat 1 during medical treatment and function assignment of operation input to the foot controller 5 are set in accordance with the identified driving conditions for the operator.

  Further, based on the result of the operator's identification in step S204, the medical medical device 100 reads information regarding the identified operator from the individual information 951, and displays the read information on the monitor 6 (step S206).

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the operator identification result screen W1 displayed on the monitor 6 in step S206 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 14, the personal recognition unit 92 reads information on the identified surgeon from the personal information 951 and displays it on the monitor 6. In the present embodiment, a display area for displaying the operator's face image and a display area for displaying the driving conditions for the operator are defined on the screen of the monitor 6. In the display area for displaying the driving conditions, for example, a list of functions (see FIG. 11) assigned to the input operations 1 to 13 with respect to the foot controller 5 is displayed. The monitor 6 according to the present embodiment constitutes a drive condition display unit. By displaying such a screen on the monitor 6, it is possible for the personal recognition unit 92 to check whether the surgeon is correctly identified via the monitor 6.

  Note that the operator identification result screen W1 is not limited to the one shown in FIG. For example, only the identified surgeon's face image or the name of the surgeon may be displayed. Further, the operator identification result screen W1 may be displayed using all of the screens of the monitor 6, or may be displayed using only a part thereof. Further, the operator identification result screen W1 may be displayed on a display device other than the monitor 6. For example, an operator monitor may be provided in the patient sheet 1 or other places, and the operator identification result screen W1 may be displayed on the screen.

  Returning to FIG. 12 again, when the medical treatment apparatus 100 identifies the operator in step S109, the medical treatment apparatus 100 displays medical chart information and the like regarding the patient identified by the operations in steps S102 to S104 (step S110). Specifically, the patient recognition information and the facial image information of the patient identified by the individual recognition unit 92 from the individual-specific information 951 are read and displayed on the monitor 6.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of a patient identification result screen W2 displayed on the monitor 6 in step S110 shown in FIG. Based on the identification result of the personal recognition unit 92 in step S104, the identification result (patient identification result) is displayed on the monitor 6. Here, a display area for displaying the patient's face image and a display area for displaying the patient's medical chart information are defined on the screen of the monitor 6. The control unit 9 displays the patient identification result on the monitor 6 to notify the patient identification result by the individual recognition unit 92 to the outside. That is, the monitor 6 functions as a notification unit that notifies the patient identification result. The monitor 6 also functions as a patient information display unit. By displaying such a screen on the monitor 6, it is possible for the personal recognition unit 92 to check whether the patient is correctly identified via the monitor 6.

  Note that the reproduction of the video content on the monitor 6 (step S107) is stopped before the patient information is displayed. However, when the operator identification result screen W1 is displayed using the entire screen of the monitor 6 in the display of the operator identification result (step S206) in the above-described operator identification (step S109), the operation of step S206 is performed. At that time, the reproduction of the video content may be stopped.

{Change of identification result}
In this embodiment, in order to correct that the identification result by the personal recognition unit 92 is incorrect, as shown in FIG. 2, the input unit 61 includes a mouse, a keyboard, a touch panel, etc., and is provided on the tray table 3 or the like. Is connected to the control unit 9. In the present embodiment, a change input button group 61a (see FIG. 15) for designating a patient or a change input button group 61b (see FIG. 14) for designating an operator is displayed on the monitor 6. . The operator selects a button corresponding to a specific patient or a specific operator from the change input button groups 61 a and 61 b via the input unit 61. Thereby, the patient or operator identified by the personal recognition unit 92 can be changed to the selected patient or operator. That is, the input unit 61 functions as a change input unit.

  For example, on the patient identification result screen W2 shown in FIG. 15, a change input button group 61a corresponding to each of the patient X, the patient Y, and the patient Z is displayed. The operator selects a button corresponding to a specific patient (for example, patient Y) from the change input button group 61 a via the input unit 61. Then, the personal recognition unit 92 changes the identified patient to the selected patient. As a result, the face image and medical chart information about the changed patient are displayed on the monitor 6. In step S105, the driving condition of each driving unit set for the identified patient is reset to the driving condition for the patient newly selected via the change input button group 61a.

  Similarly, on the operator identification result screen W1 shown in FIG. 14, a change input button group 61b corresponding to each of the operator A, the operator B, and the operator C is displayed. The operator selects a button corresponding to a specific operator (for example, operator B) from the change input button group 61 b via the input unit 61. Then, the personal recognition unit 92 changes the identified surgeon to the selected surgeon. The personal recognition unit 92 acquires the face image and driving information corresponding to the changed operator, and as a result, the face image and driving conditions for the changed operator are displayed on the monitor 6. In step S205, the drive condition of each drive unit set for the identified surgeon is reset to the drive condition for the surgeon newly selected via the change input button group 61b.

  By providing the input unit 61 in this way, even if the identification result of the patient or the operator by the personal recognition unit 92 is incorrect, the result can be corrected.

  Note that, when a specific button is selected from the change input button group 61b shown in FIG. 14, the operator's identification result by the personal recognition unit 92 is not changed, and the display content displayed in the drive condition display area is simply displayed. However, the display may be changed to that of the surgeon corresponding to the selected button. In this case, the driving conditions of other surgeons can be confirmed without changing the identification result. In this case, the input unit 61 constitutes a selection input unit.

  When the monitor 6 is configured with a touch panel, the patient or the operator may be selected by touching the change input button groups 61a and 61b. In this case, the monitor 6 assumes a part of the function of the input unit 61.

  Returning to FIG. 12 again, when the medical examination apparatus 100 displays the chart information on the monitor 6, the surgical light 7 is turned on (step S111). Thereby, it becomes possible to illuminate the patient with the surgical light 7. According to this embodiment, since the power of the operating light 7 is automatically turned on based on the detection by the operator, the operation of turning on the operating light of the operating light 7 by the operator becomes unnecessary. Therefore, the convenience of the medical treatment apparatus 100 can be improved. The power of the surgical light 7 may be turned on by an operator's operation. In such a case, the medical treatment apparatus 100 may skip step S111.

  The power of the surgical light 7 in step S111 may be turned on when a patient is detected by the image recognition unit 96 in step S101. That is, the power control unit 97 may turn on the operating light 7 based on a signal transmitted from the image recognition unit 96 (see FIG. 2). At this time, by illuminating the patient's face with the shadowless light 7, it becomes easy to obtain a clear face image when the patient's face is photographed. However, when it is difficult for the patient to view the content due to the illumination of the surgical light 7, it is desirable that the surgical light 7 is turned off at least during the reproduction of the content.

  When the medical treatment apparatus 100 completes the operations up to step S111, the medical treatment apparatus 100 starts treatment of the patient by the operator. At this time, the surgeon can proceed with medical treatment while using the medical chart information displayed on the monitor 6. Moreover, since each drive part of the medical treatment apparatus 100 is set to drive conditions for patients and surgeons, the surgeon can smoothly proceed with medical care.

  During the medical treatment, the medical medical device 100 monitors whether or not the patient has left the patient seat 1 (step S112). Specifically, the image recognition unit 96 analyzes whether or not a patient exists on the patient sheet 1. If it is determined in step S112 that the patient has left, the medical treatment apparatus 100 skips steps S113 to S117 and proceeds to step S118.

  When it is determined in step S112 that the patient is not away (ie, seated), the medical medical device 100 monitors whether or not the operator has left the operations stool 81 (step S113). ). Specifically, whether or not the operator has left the seat is detected by the operator detection unit 81S. When it is detected that the operator has left the seat, the medical medical device 100 turns off the operating light 7 (step S114). Thereby, the surgical light 7 is turned off. Note that step S114 may be omitted. Furthermore, the medical treatment apparatus 100 reproduces video content corresponding to the patient on the monitor 6 (step S115).

  In the clinic, there may be situations where the operator must wait during treatment. A typical example is taking an impression in dental practice. In impression acquisition, the patient's dental mold is collected by applying the impression material filled in the tray to the patient's teeth for several minutes to several tens of minutes. During this free time, the surgeon may leave his seat. The medical medical device 100 starts reproducing the content by detecting that the operator has removed his / her seat. Therefore, even when the waiting time occurs during the medical care, the patient can spend the waiting time meaningfully by viewing the reproduced content.

  In step S113, it is desirable that steps S114 and S115 be executed after a predetermined time has elapsed even if the operator detection unit 81S detects the absence of the operator. As a result, when the surgeon does not intend to leave (for example, when the surgeon simply stands up and sits back), the surgical light 7 is turned off or the content is reproduced. Thus, it is possible to prevent the medical treatment from being interrupted.

  As described above, instead of detecting the surgeon using the surgeon detection unit 81S, the surgeon may be detected by analyzing the image captured by the imaging unit 8. In addition, an input unit for notifying the medical diagnosis apparatus 100 that the operator is leaving is provided, and an operation by the operator of the input unit is detected to detect the operator's leaving. Good.

  The medical medical device 100 monitors whether or not an operator is detected when content reproduction is started in step S115 (step S116). Specifically, as in step S108, the determination is made based on whether or not an operator is detected by the operator detection unit 81S. Of course, the operator may be detected by analyzing the image photographed by the photographing unit 8. In addition, an input unit for notifying the medical medical device 100 that the operator has returned to the fixed position may be provided, and the operator may be detected by monitoring the operation of the input unit.

  When an operator is detected in step S116, the medical treatment apparatus 100 returns to step S110, stops content reproduction, and displays medical chart information and the like. Thereby, when an operator returns to the medical treatment apparatus 100, medical treatment can be resumed smoothly.

  When the surgeon cannot be detected in step S116, the medical medical device 100 determines whether or not the patient is away (step S117). Specifically, the image recognition unit 96 analyzes whether or not a patient exists on the patient sheet 1. When it is determined that the patient is not away (that is, seated), the medical medical device 100 returns to step S116 again to detect the operator.

  If it is determined in step S117 that the patient has left the seat, the medical medical device 100 stores the chart information (step S118). The medical chart information is written in the medical chart information by, for example, an operator (or other operator) during medical treatment, for example, via the input unit 61 (input device such as a mouse or a keyboard). Specifically, the contents of the interview between the surgeon and the patient, the details of the treatment performed by the surgeon on the patient at the time of medical treatment, or the operator's findings on the case, etc. are used as the chart information. To be recorded. The medical treatment apparatus 100 integrates the data input during the medical treatment in this way with the existing medical record information, and records it in the individual-specific information 951 as new medical record information. Note that the chart information may be stored manually by an operator performing a predetermined operation input. In this case, the operation of step S118 by the medical medical device 100 can be omitted.

  When the medical record information is stored, the medical medical device 100 turns off the power of the monitor 6 (step S119). That is, when the image recognition unit 96 recognizes that the patient has left the seat, the power of the content reproduction unit is turned off. Thereby, the content reproduction on the monitor 6 is stopped.

  If it is determined in step S112 that the patient has left, the operating light 7 remains lit at the time of step S119. In such a case, the medical treatment apparatus 100 cuts off the power of the operating light 7 as well as the power of the monitor 6. As a result, the power of the monitor 6 and the operating light 7 are cut off as the patient leaves (step S112). Thereby, since it is not necessary for the surgeon to turn off the power of the monitor 6 and the surgical light 7 after completion of the medical treatment, the convenience of the medical medical device 100 can be improved.

  The above is a description of a series of operations of the medical medical device 100 from before the start of medical treatment to after the end of medical treatment.

{2. Modification}
Although the embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above, and various modifications are possible.

  For example, a monitor that reproduces video content may be provided on the ceiling so that the video content can be viewed when the patient is in a supine posture. In this case, the video content may be displayed on the monitor 6, or the monitor 6 may be omitted. Further, a monitor for reproducing video content may be provided in the vicinity of the photographing unit 8. In addition, when a mirror is provided near the imaging unit 8 for the patient to view and confirm his / her oral cavity, the video content is displayed on the mirror so that the patient can view through the mirror. May be. Moreover, you may make it project a video content on a wall or a screen using a projector.

  Further, the face image data of the patient or operator used as identification information does not need to include the entire face of the patient or operator. That is, as long as the individual recognition unit 92 can collate with the individual information 951, only a part of the face of the patient or the operator may be photographed by the photographing unit 8.

  Further, when acquiring the face image data by the photographing unit 8, it is desirable that photographing is performed under a certain condition as much as possible in order to improve authentication accuracy. For this reason, when the patient or the operator is detected in step S101 or step S201, the medical medical device 100 requests the patient or the operator to stop the operation via voice or video, You may make it instruct | indicate about a standing position and an attitude | position.

  Further, the patient or the operator may be identified based on identification information other than the face image data. For example, personal data indicating a patient or an operator (personal information such as name, address, date of birth, identification code such as a number assigned to each person, etc.) is input to the control unit 9, and the personal recognition unit 92 may be queried. In addition, personal data (for example, represented by a barcode) attached to a card (for example, a medical card) is read, or personal data is read electromagnetically using a technology such as RFID. The personal data may be input to the control unit 9. Further, biometric information other than the facial appearance may be acquired as identification information, thereby identifying the patient or the operator. In addition, identification of a patient or an operator may be performed by combining face image data and other identification information.

  Further, when identifying a patient or an operator, the individual recognition unit 92 identifies a patient or an operator that matches the identification information from all patients or operators registered in the individual-specific information 951. However, the search target at this time may be narrowed down to a part of those registered in the individual-specific information 951 in advance. For example, when a patient or an operator who uses the medical medical device 100 is determined for each medical day, only the data about the patient or the operator on the medical day needs to be searched. Further, at the time when the surgeon is identified, it may be narrowed down to only the patients in charge of the identified surgeon in the patient group to be searched. With these devices, it is possible to efficiently identify a patient or an operator.

  Further, in the medical treatment apparatus 100, the patient may be identified before the patient is seated on the patient sheet 1. If the patient can be identified before sitting, the positioning of each part of the patient seat 1 at the time of patient introduction can be set according to the physique and physical strength of each patient. Note that the positioning at the time of introduction may coincide with the positioning at the time of leaving the seat (see FIG. 3 and the like). Thereby, it becomes possible for the patient to easily sit on the patient seat 1.

  Moreover, you may comprise the lower part of the footrest 1d so that expansion-contraction is possible. By adjusting the length of the footrest 1d according to the situation, the patient can easily sit on the patient seat 1 or stand up from the patient seat 1. Moreover, you may enable it to set this expansion-contraction length for every patient as a drive condition.

  Further, a drive unit that moves the tray table 3 may be provided. Then, the position of the tray table 3 may be configured to be operated via the operation means such as the foot controller 5. Moreover, you may enable it to set the positioning of the tray table 3 for every patient or every operator as driving conditions.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the medical treatment apparatus 100 is comprised so that it may adapt to dental treatment. However, the present invention is applicable to all medical fields such as ophthalmology, otolaryngology, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics, plastic surgery, neurology, pediatrics, internal medicine, dermatology, radiology, urology, oral surgery, orthopedic surgery, etc. It can be applied to medical medical devices in various fields such as general dentistry.

  In addition, the configurations described in the above embodiments and modifications can be appropriately combined or omitted as long as they do not contradict each other.
