Abstract
A position information acquisition unit acquires position information indicating a position of a capsule endoscope occurring at the time of capturing an endoscopic image. A track image generation unit generates track image data representing the movement track of the capsule endoscope inside a subject based on the position information. A display processing unit displays a track image. A shape identification unit identifies an area having a shape that is potentially an obstacle when an insertion part of the endoscope is inserted into the subject.
Claims15
An image observation support system for supporting observation of a plurality of images captured inside a subject by a capsule endoscope, comprising:
- a processor comprising hardware, wherein the processor is configured to:
- acquire position information indicating a position of the capsule endoscope occurring at the time of capturing the images;
- generate track image data indicating a movement track of the capsule endoscope based on the position information;
- and
- identify an area in the movement track, the area having a shape that is an obstacle when the endoscope is inserted into the subject.
An image observation support method for supporting observation of a plurality of images captured inside a subject by a capsule endoscope, comprising:
- acquiring position information indicating a position of the capsule endoscope occurring at the time of capturing the images;
- generating track image data indicating a movement track of the capsule endoscope based on the position information;
- and
- identifying an area in the movement track, the area having a shape that is an obstacle when the endoscope is inserted into the subject.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for supporting observation of a plurality of images captured inside a subject by a capsule endoscope, wherein the program includes:
- a module that acquires position information indicating a position of the capsule endoscope occurring at the time of capturing the images;
- a module that generates track image data indicating a movement track of the capsule endoscope based on the position information;
- and
- a module that identifies an area in the movement track, the area having a shape that is an obstacle when the endoscope is inserted into the subject.
