15. An object observation system, comprising:
-
an endoscope having an insert portion, which can be used for observing a body to be examined;
at least one treating device for performing a treatment on the body to be examined;
a first detecting portion for detecting information indicating an observation direction of the insert portion of the endoscope;
a second detecting portion for detecting information indicating a treatment direction of the treating device;
a three-dimensional image data storing portion for storing three-dimensional image data relating to the body to be examined;
a three-dimensional image data processing portion for creating first and second three-dimensional image data corresponding to the first and second detecting portions by processing the three-dimensional image data based on information detected by the first and second detecting portions;
first and second three-dimensional image display portions, which can display first and second three-dimensional images based on the first and second three-dimensional image data and an endoscopic observation image by the endoscope;
a switching section, which can selectively switch and output, to the first and second three-dimensional image display portion, the first and second three-dimensional image data from the three-dimensional image data processing portion; and
a control portion for controlling the switching section. - View Dependent Claims (16)

41. A control method of an object observation system including an endoscope having an insert portion, which can be used for observing a body to be examined and at least one treating device for performing a treatment on the body to be examined, the method comprising:
-
a first step of detecting information indicating an observation direction of the insert portion of the endoscope;
a second step of detecting information indicating a treatment direction of the treating device;
a step of storing three-dimensional image data relating to the body to be examined;
a step of creating first and second three-dimensional image data corresponding to the first and second detecting steps by processing the three-dimensional image data based on information detected by the first and second detecting steps;
a step of displaying first and second three-dimensional images based on the first and second three-dimensional image data and an endoscopic observation image by the endoscope;
a step of selectively switching the first and second three-dimensional image data for the display step; and
a step of controlling the switching step. - View Dependent Claims (42)
