Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention of IH relates to an endoscopic image recording system that can accurately and reliably manage endoscopic data.

(Prior Art) In recent years, electronic endoscopes with built-in solid-state imaging devices at their tips have appeared and have come to be used clinically. This electronic endoscope was superior to conventional optical endoscopes in its ability to display images on a television monitor and the clarity of its images.

However, as long as the electronic endoscope is used alone, there is not much difference in clinical use. In particular, when it comes to recording images, conventional optical endoscopes store films taken using 16ml film, whereas this electronic endoscope stores films taken using 35IIIl film. They are the same, and the image playback is done by taking out the film one by one in both cases.
The complication of viewing with a projector remains the same.

Therefore, by taking advantage of the characteristics of electronic endoscopes, this image is recorded on an optical disk.

Previously, the inventors of this application have discovered that when recording images from an electronic endoscope on an optical disk, an I.
By setting the D number, it is possible to easily record and reproduce images under computer management, and at the same time, the image diagnosis, site, biopsy tissue diagnosis, next scheduled examination date, etc. We have developed a system that restores the number of people scheduled to be tested in the current month by inputting the following information. Furthermore, the inventors of this application have developed a system that uses an image selector to simultaneously display the necessary images in up to nine fractions on one television monitor when images are played back under the control of a computer.

The inventors of this application have proposed that by simultaneously displaying necessary images in this way (hereinafter, the operation of displaying necessary images simultaneously is called image organization, and the created images are called organized images), a comprehensive image can be created. We decided to conduct a diagnosis and have already confirmed that it is effective in clinical applications.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the conventional endoscopic image recording system described above, only one organized image can be created at a time, and in order to create another organized image, it is necessary to There is the problem of having to repeat the same task after deleting a certain image, and the problem of having to erase all of the images no matter how many national prestige images are created. It had
