An endoscope system includes a light source that emits illumination light, an image sensor that captures an image of an object toward which the illumination light is emitted, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine whether a fluid is present in the object. If the fluid is not present in the object, the processor switches to a first observation mode in which to illuminate the object by first illumination light. If the fluid is present in the object, the processor switches to a second observation mode in which to illuminate the object by second illumination light. The second illumination light includes is larger than the first illumination light in a relative ratio of long wavelength components.

The present invention discloses a control method, system, electronic device and readable storage medium for a capsule endoscope. The method includes: providing a working apparatus, comprising a capsule endoscope, and an external data recorder for cooperating with and controlling the capsule endoscope; monitoring the received ambient power by the external data recorder before wireless transmission of the capsule endoscope or during an intermittence between two transmissions, and/or monitoring the output power of the capsule endoscope by the external data recorder as data is transmitted during wireless transmission; adjusting the operating state of the working apparatus according to the ambient power and/or output power. The present invention can monitor the power during the dormant period before image interaction and/or in the process of image interaction, thus adjust the operating state of the capsule endoscope in real time, which can improve the wireless communication performance and operating time of the capsule endoscope.

One or more triggers, fluorescence or auto-fluorescence triggers, NIRAF triggers, methods of using triggers, fiber optic rotary joints (FORJ), free space beam combiners, OCT, SEE and/or fluorescence devices and systems for use therewith, methods of using and/or manufacturing same and storage mediums are provided. One or more embodiments using one or more triggers achieve structural compactness and/or high-speed acquisition while avoiding or reducing the need for high computational power. One or more embodiments use one or more triggers, one or more fluorescence triggers, one or more auto-fluorescence triggers, or NIRAF triggers, and/or one or more rotary joints, for performing pullback and/or image recording. Examples of optical applications that may involve the use of a trigger, fluorescence/auto-fluorescence trigger or NIRAF trigger, and/or a fiber optic rotary joint, include imaging, evaluating and characterizing/identifying biological objects or tissue, such as, but not limited to, for gastro-intestinal, otolaryngologic, cardio and/or ophthalmic applications.

An image processor selects, when a processing start operation for starting image storage processing is performed, a first image and a second image that satisfy a preset selection condition from a plurality of the first images and a plurality of the second images acquired in a target period including a time when the processing start operation is performed, for the image storage processing. A light source processor performs control to switch, out of a first illumination light beam and a second illumination light beam, one being emitted to the other to emit the other, during a target period.

A medical device may include an insertion portion longitudinally extending between a proximal end and a distal end. The insertion portion may define a channel extending therethrough. The medical device may further include a handle coupled to the proximal end of the insertion portion. The handle may further include an irrigation port in fluid communication with the channel and coupled to a source of irrigation fluid. Additionally, the handle may include an actuator and a pressurizer. Manipulation of the actuator may be configured to actuate the pressurizer to urge irrigation fluid distally through the channel.

A method of authorizing a limited use intravascular device can include determining if the intravascular device is in communication with a clinical system; determining if the intravascular device is authorized for clinical operation without providing the clinical system access to intravascular device data stored on the intravascular device; and providing an authorization signal to the clinical system. An intravascular device can include a flexible elongate member including a sensing component at a distal portion and a connector at a proximal portion, the connector including: a memory component configured to store a parameter value; a processing component; and a charge storage component configured to power the memory component and/or the processing component; wherein the processing component is configured to determine if the flexible elongate member is authorized for clinical operation using the parameter value without providing the parameter value to a clinical system.

Provided is a capsule endoscope. The capsule endoscope includes: an imaging device configured to perform imaging on a digestive tract in vivo to generate an image; an artificial neural network configured to determine whether there is a lesion area in the image; and a transmitter configured to transmit the image based on a determination result of the artificial neural network.

An endoscope processor allows the user to easily confirm the setting state of functions. The endoscope processor includes: a processor executing program code to perform: displaying, by the processor, on a touch panel a plurality of custom buttons each having a function description section describing a function operable by a user and a state section indicating a state of the function; and accepting, by the processor, an operation performed on the custom buttons displayed. The function description section includes an icon section illustrating the function and a name section indicating a name of the function in text form.

A light source device includes: a first optical element that generates transmitted light obtained by removing a first wavelength band component from incident light and generates reflected light obtained by extracting the first wavelength band component from the incident light; a first light source that emits light that includes at least a component of the first wavelength band and that causes the light to be incident on the first optical element so as to be reflected light of the first optical element; a second light source that emits light so that light including a component of a wide second wavelength band including the first wavelength band to be transmitted light of the first optical element; and a control unit that controls driving of the first light source and the second light source. The control unit controls on/off of emission of the first and second light source emission light.

An image of a field of view is captured by the endoscope and a portion of the image is displayed on a display. A popup image is generated and displayed upon image analysis identification of an occurrence of bleeding or motion of edges of an incision that is within the field of view, but outside the portion of the field of view displayed on the display.
