Abstract
A treatment support system is provided with an irradiation unit for irradiating a medical agent containing a fluorescent material with treatment light, a light detection unit for detecting, out of the treatment light and fluorescence, at least the fluorescence, a storage uni, and a control unit. The control unit performs control of at least a start of storing the fluorescence signal by the storage unit based on that the fluorescence signal detected by the light detection unit has changed beyond at least a predetermined degree of change; or that the light detection unit has detected the signal of the treatment light.
Claims9
A treatment support system comprising:
- an irradiation unit configured, in treatment of killing a cancer cell by irradiating a medical agent containing a fluorescent material that has been administered into a body of a subject with treatment light in a predetermined wavelength range, to irradiate the medical agent with the treatment light;
- a light detection unit configured to detect, out of the treatment light and fluorescence emitted by the fluorescent material of the medical agent excited by irradiation of the treatment light, at least the fluorescence emitted by the fluorescent material of the medical agent excited by the irradiation of the treatment light;
- a storage unit configured to store a fluorescence signal of the fluorescence detected by the light detection unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to perform control of at least a start of storing the fluorescent signal by the storage unit,
- wherein the control unit is configured to
- include a change determination unit for determining whether or not the fluorescence signal detected by the light detection unit has changed beyond at least a predetermined degree of change and a first storage control unit for performing control of at least the start of storing the fluorescence signal by the storage unit when the change determination unit determines that the fluorescence signal detected by the light detection unit has changed beyond at least the predetermined degree of change, and
- perform control of at least the start of storing the fluorescence signal by the storage unit based on that the fluorescence signal detected by the light detection unit has changed beyond at least the predetermined degree of change, or
- wherein the control unit is configured to
- include a treatment light determination unit for determining whether or not the light detection unit has detected a signal of the treatment light and a second storage control unit for performing control of the start of storing the fluorescence signal by the storage unit when the treatment light determination unit determines that the light detection unit has detected the signal of the treattument light, and
- perform control of at least the start of storing the fluorescence signal by the storage unit based on that the light detection unit has detected the signal of the treatment light.
