Abstract

An endoscopic examination support device stores, in a memory, a plurality of pieces of captured image data obtained by a plurality of imagings by an endoscope in a state in which the endoscope is inserted into a subject, and treatment information indicating treatment performed by using the endoscope in the state. Moreover, the endoscopic examination support device generates, based on the stored plurality of pieces of captured image data and treatment information, a large intestine developed image of an inside of the subject obtained by synthesizing the plurality of pieces of captured image data, the large intestine developed image being added with biopsy position mark indicating a position in the subject at which the treatment is performed, and displays the generated large intestine developed image on a display device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An endoscopic examination support device comprising:
a processor; and a memory, wherein the memory stores a plurality of pieces of captured image data obtained by a plurality of imagings by an endoscope in a state in which the endoscope is inserted into a subject, and treatment information regarding treatment performed by using the endoscope to an inside of the subject in the state, the treatment information including information indicating a position at which the treatment is performed, and the processor is configured to
generate, based on the plurality of pieces of captured image data and the treatment information, a developed image of the inside of the subject obtained by synthesizing the plurality of pieces of captured image data, the developed image being added with information indicating the position in the subject at which the treatment is performed, and
display the generated developed image on a display device.

2 . The endoscopic examination support device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the memory stores a still image obtained by an imaging by the endoscope, and the processor generates the developed image associated with the still image.

3 . The endoscopic examination support device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the still image includes a still image obtained in accordance with a detection result of the treatment using the endoscope based on the plurality of pieces of captured image data.

4 . The endoscopic examination support device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the still image includes a still image obtained in accordance with a detection result based on the plurality of pieces of captured image data indicating that a distal end part of the endoscope reaches a specific site in the subject.

5 . The endoscopic examination support device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the still image includes a still image obtained in accordance with a detection result based on the plurality of pieces of captured image data indicating that a distal end part of the endoscope reaches a specific site in the subject.

6 . The endoscopic examination support device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the plurality of pieces of captured image data are a plurality of pieces of captured image data obtained after it is detected that a distal end part of the endoscope reaches an end part of an examination region in the subject.

7 . The endoscopic examination support device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the plurality of pieces of captured image data are a plurality of pieces of captured image data obtained after it is detected that a distal end part of the endoscope reaches an end part of an examination region in the subject.

8 . The endoscopic examination support device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the plurality of pieces of captured image data are a plurality of pieces of captured image data obtained after it is detected that a distal end part of the endoscope reaches an end part of an examination region in the subject.

9 . The endoscopic examination support device according to claim 4 ,
wherein the plurality of pieces of captured image data are a plurality of pieces of captured image data obtained after it is detected that the distal end part of the endoscope reaches an end part of an examination region in the subject.

10 . The endoscopic examination support device according to claim 5 ,
wherein the plurality of pieces of captured image data are a plurality of pieces of captured image data obtained after it is detected that the distal end part of the endoscope reaches an end part of an examination region in the subject.

11 . The endoscopic examination support device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the memory stores the plurality of pieces of captured image data and the treatment information in association with time point information, and the processor generates the developed image added with the information indicating the position in the subject at which the treatment is performed, based on the time point information.

12 . The endoscopic examination support device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor generates the developed image added with the information indicating the position in the subject at which the treatment is performed, based on a detection result of performing the treatment using the endoscope based on the plurality pf pieces of captured image data.

13 . An endoscopic examination support method comprising:
storing a plurality of pieces of captured image data obtained by a plurality of imagings by an endoscope in a state in which the endoscope is inserted into a subject, and treatment information regarding treatment performed by using the endoscope to an inside of the subject in the state, the treatment information including information indicating a position at which the treatment is performed; generating, based on the plurality of pieces of captured image data and the treatment information, a developed image of the inside of the subject obtained by synthesizing the plurality of pieces of captured image data, the developed image being added with information indicating the position in the subject at which the treatment is performed; and displaying the generated developed image on a display device.

14 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an endoscopic examination support program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:
storing a plurality of pieces of captured image data obtained by a plurality of imagings by an endoscope in a state in which the endoscope is inserted into a subject, and treatment information regarding treatment performed by using the endoscope to an inside of the subject in the state, the treatment information including information indicating a position at which the treatment is performed; generating, based on the plurality of pieces of captured image data and the treatment information, a developed image of the inside of the subject obtained by synthesizing the plurality of pieces of captured image data, the developed image being added with information indicating the position in the subject at which the treatment is performed; and displaying the generated developed image on a display device.

15 . The endoscopic examination support device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the treatment information includes a mark indicating a position at which biopsy is performed.
