  • Publication number: 20100182412
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus according to the present invention includes: an obtainment unit for obtaining time-series image data, which is image data captured in time series by a capsule endoscope; an image detection unit for detecting prescribed image data from the obtained time-series image data; a display control unit for displaying a list of the prescribed detection image data among the detected image data; and a display instruction input unit to which an instruction to the display control unit is input, wherein the display instruction input unit comprising a detection method selection unit for selecting a detection method used when detection is performed on the basis of the image detection unit; and a list display selection unit for displaying a list of the image data by using the display control unit.

  • Publication number: 20100010306
    Abstract: A system for guiding capsule medical device includes a capsule medical device that includes a capsule casing including an imaging unit and a permanent magnet magnetized in a direction relatively fixed with respect to an upward and downward direction of an imaging surface of the imaging unit. The capsule medical device has a center of gravity deviated from a geometric center of the casing toward a direction different from a magnetization direction of the permanent magnetic. In the capsule medical device, a plane parallel to the imaging surface and a plane parallel to the magnetization direction and a deviation direction of the center of gravity with respect to the geometric center form an intersection line. The system further includes a magnetic guidance device; and an image display device displaying an in-vivo image such that a direction of the intersection line conforms to an upward and downward direction of a screen.
