Endoscopic image filing system for recording and managing information on condition of patient in endoscopic examination so as to relate such information with endoscopic image information
First Claim
1. An endoscopic image filing system, comprising:
- a first communication section for capturing an endoscopic image signal from an endoscope apparatus that obtains an endoscopic image signal by observing an examined body by means of an endoscope;
a second communication section for capturing biological information from a measuring apparatus that obtains the biological information by measuring said examined body being observed by said endoscope;
a storage section for storing data; and
a registration section for registering, in said storage section, said biological information and said endoscopic image signal thus captured as examination data on said examined body, such that said biological information and said endoscopic image signal are related on the basis of pre-registered information identifying said examined body.

Abstract
The endoscopic image filing system is principally constituted by an endoscope system for performing an examination by means of endoscopic images; an image filing apparatus, which is connected to the endoscope system and is for recording desired endoscopic images; and a patient monitoring apparatus for monitoring biological information such as the patient'"'"'s blood pressure and pulse, and an electrocardiogram, which endoscopic image filing system improves the accuracy of an endoscopy diagnosis by recording the condition of the patient in the endoscopic examination along with endoscopic images, referring to the patient'"'"'s condition while playing back images, and recording the patient'"'"'s condition in an examination report.
