Patent Images
1. A surgery support system, for performing communication of information regarding surgery, and supporting surgery, said system comprising:
- an imaging device for taking images of a treatment region of a patient, and outputting picture signals;
a first display device for displaying images of said treatment region, based on picture signals output from said imaging device;
a first transmitting circuit for transmitting picture signals output from said imaging device to a communication line;
a first receiving circuit for receiving said picture signals from said first transmitting circuit via said communication line;
a second display device for displaying images of said treatment region, based on picture signals received with said first receiving circuit;
a first pointer superimposing circuit for superimposing a first pointer for instructing location on said second display device display said treatment region;
an operating unit for moving said first pointer displayed on said second display device by said first pointer superimposing circuit;
a second transmitting circuit for transmitting location information of said first pointer to said communication line;
a second receiving circuit for receiving location information of said first pointer from said second transmitting circuit via said communication line; and
a second pointer superimposing circuit for superimposing a second pointer on said first display device, based on location information received with said second receiving means.

Abstract
A first controller synthesizes image output of a CCU and a cursor created based on trigger information from a second controller, following location information. The synthesized image is displayed on a first monitor, so an endoscope image and a cursor image which moves synchronously with the cursor image on a display device can be simultaneously viewed at the surgery room side on a single monitor, and accordingly, the problem of the working space inside the surgery room becoming crowded due to providing multiple observation monitors in the surgery room does not occur.
