Electronic endoscope system including image processing unit with photographing unit
First Claim
1. An electronic endoscope system comprising:
- endoscopic image producing means for producing an endoscopic image signal of an object under medical examination as original endoscopic image data of said object;
endoscopic image processing means for processing said original endoscopic image data so as to obtain endoscopically-processed image data;
photographic means for successively photographing said original endoscopic image data and said endoscopically-processed image data;
image confirming means for successively receiving said original endoscopic image data and said endoscopically-processed image data so as to confirm the contents of said original and endoscopically-processed image data; and
,image data transferring means for simultaneously transferring said original endoscopic image data and said endoscopically-processed image data to at least both said photographing means and image confirming means in response to an instruction signal, whereby said original and endoscopically-processed image data simultaneously transferred to said image data confirming means are successively photographed by said photographing means while the contents thereof are confirmed by the image confirming means.

Abstract
In an electronic endoscope system, an endoscopically-processed endoscopic image such as a color-enhanced endoscopic image is photographed with a simple operation. The electronic endoscope system comprises: an endoscopic image producing unit for producing an endoscopic image signal of an object under medical examination as original endoscopic image data; an endoscopic image processing unit for processing the original endoscopic image data so as to obtain endoscopically-processed image data; a photographing unit for selectively photographing the original endoscopic image data and the endoscopically-processed image data; an image confirming unit for selectively receiving the original endoscopic image data and the endoscopically-processed image data so as to confirm a content of the received image data; and, an image data transferring unit for transferring the original endoscopic image data and the endoscopically-processed image data simultaneously to at least both the photographing unit and image confirming unit in response to an instruction signal. Then, the transferred image data is photographed by the photographing means while the content thereof is confirmed by the image confirming unit.
