Abstract
A medical observation apparatus includes: an imaging device configured to capture an observation target to obtain a captured right eye medical image and a captured left eye medical image; and circuitry configured to: acquire positions of at least two points in the observation target, the positions being determined based on predetermined operation on the observation target; and cause the captured right eye medical image, the captured left eye medical image, and an annotation image, to be displayed on a display screen of a display device, the annotation image indicating a distance between two points at the acquired positions.
Claims18
A medical observation system, comprising:
- an imaging device configured to capture an observation target to obtain a right eye medical image and a left eye medical image;
- and circuitry configured to:
- acquire positions of at least two points in the observation target, the positions being determined based on predetermined operation on the observation target, the acquired positions defining a lesion in the observation target;
- cause the right eye medical image, the left eye medical image, and an annotation image, to be displayed on a display screen of a display device, the annotation image indicating a distance between two points at the acquired positions, the distance being a length of at least a part of the lesion, wherein the annotation image includes a numerical value corresponding to the distance between two points at the acquired positions;
- and cause an image to be displayed on the display screen of the display device or a display screen of another display device, the image representing a medical tool be used based on the distance between two points, wherein the image representing the medical tool is displayed separately from the right eye medical image, the left eye medical image, and the annotation image, and the image representing the medical tool includes at least two medical tools be used based on the distance between two points displayed separately from the right eye medical image, the left eye medical image, and the annotation image and each other.

A medical display system, comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- acquire positions of at least two points in an observation target imaged by a sensor that obtains a right eye medical image and a left eye medical image of the observation target, the positions being determined based on predetermined operation on the observation target, the acquired positions defining a lesion in the observation target;
- and cause the right eye medical image, the left eye medical image, and an annotation image, to be displayed on a display screen of a display, the annotation image indicating a distance between two points at the acquired positions, the distance being a length of at least a part of the lesion;
- and cause an image to be displayed on the display screen of the display or a display screen of another display, the image representing a medical tool to be used based on the distance between two points, wherein the annotation image includes a numerical value corresponding to the distance between two points at the acquired positions, the image representing the medical tool is displayed separately from the right eye medical image, the left eye medical image, and the annotation image, and the image representing the medical tool includes at least two medical tools be used based on the distance between two points displayed separately from the right eye medical image, the left eye medical image, and the annotation image and each other.

A medical display method, comprising:
- acquiring positions of at least two points in an observation target imaged by a sensor that obtains a right eye medical image and a left eye medical image of the observation target, the positions being determined based on predetermined operation on the observation target, the acquired positions defining a lesion in the observation target;
- and displaying the right eye medical image, the left eye medical image, and an annotation image, a display screen of a display, the annotation image indicating a distance between two points at the acquired positions, the distance being a length of at least a part of the lesion, wherein the annotation image includes a numerical value corresponding to the distance between two points at the acquired positions;
- and displaying, on the display screen of the display or a display screen of another display, an image representing a medical tool to be used based on the distance between two points, wherein the image representing the medical tool is displayed separately from the right eye medical image, the left eye medical image, and the annotation image, and the image representing the medical tool includes at least two medical tools be used based on the distance between two points displayed separately from the right eye medical image, the left eye medical image, and the annotation image and each other.
