When 1 is pressed and patient number data is input via the patient numeric keypad 28, a two-digit patient number is displayed on the LED display 14. Note that the patient number can be changed by operating the cursor key 33. For example, when the increment key ← is pressed, the patient number is changed one by one in the increasing direction, and similarly when the decrement key → is pressed, the patient number is changed one by one in the decreasing direction.

Next, the necessary data regarding the patient are entered via the keyboard 17. For example, the patient's name, gender, date of birth, etc. are input. These patient data are stored in memory 15. In this case, patient data is stored in an address number that corresponds to the patient number.

This memory 15 corresponds to a part of the storage area of the RAM 44 shown in FIG. Further, this RAM 44 has a storage area corresponding to the memory 16 for storing body part data.

By the way, the part data, that is, the part name, differs depending on the diagnosis part, for example, the esophagus, the helmet, the duodenum, the small intestine, the large intestine, etc., and the part data is set according to the diagnosis order of each diagnosis part. That is, a plurality of diagnostic sites exist for one diagnostic site, and these diagnostic sites are stored as one group in the memory 16 in the order of diagnosis. That is, the memory 16 stores a plurality of diagnostic site data groups corresponding to a plurality of diagnostic sites, respectively. Therefore, by specifying a diagnostic location, the corresponding location data is sequentially read out. The diagnosis location can be set by inputting data representing the type of endoscope, ie, type for esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, etc. In this setting, the data key 22 is pressed after the endoscope is inserted into the body cavity, and the internal
By keying in the code representing the type of AM, the leading part number of the corresponding part data group is searched and the part data can be read. At this time, the first address, for example, part number 31, is displayed on the LED display 14.
At the same time, the abbreviation BAS of the body part name corresponding to the body part number 31 is displayed on the LED display panel 13. Next, press the cursor key 33 while pulling out the endoscope from the body cavity.
By operating the increment key ←, the part number is sequentially incremented and changes to 32, 33, 34, and so on. Accordingly, part data is sequentially read out from the part data memory 16, and part numbers 32, 33, etc., as well as part names APP, CEA, etc. are displayed on the display body 14 and the display panel 1.
3. The body part data is transferred to the camera each time, sequentially displayed on the display section of the camera 20, and captured on film together with the transendoscopic image in response to the release operation. When the part data is displayed while being incremented sequentially in this way, when the part number reaches the upper limit, increments 1 to 1 are stopped and the part data does not change even if the cursor key is pressed any further.

In this state, when the decrement key → is pressed, the part number is decremented and the corresponding part name is displayed.

In the above example, the body part data is read out sequentially from the memory by operating the cursor key 33, but the body part data may also be read out sequentially each time the release switch installed in the camera 20 is operated. good.

In addition, although the body part data is stored in RAM44, if the body part data of the diagnosis location is completely fixed, R
It may be stored in the OM43.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, body part data is stored in a memory according to a predetermined diagnosis order, and body part data is sequentially read out from the memory in response to insertion and removal of an endoscope into a body cavity.
