Abstract: An endoscope apparatus including a connector included in an endoscope and connected to an endoscope connection portion of a video processor, a fluid feeding apparatus including a tube configured to transmit fluid to the endoscope, a connection detector configured to detect a connection state of the tube with the connector of the endoscope, a control unit configured to detect an ON/OFF state of a power source of the fluid feeding apparatus, determine an abnormality exists when the connection detector detects that the tube is in a disconnected state with the connector of the endoscope and the power source of the fluid feeding apparatus is detected to be in an ON state, and output a notification of the determined abnormality, and a display configured to display the notification of the abnormality outputted by the control unit.

Abstract: A signal processing device includes: a connection detector that detects whether an endoscope including one or more operation members is connected; an input unit to which an operation state signal is input from an external input device including one or more buttons that correspond to the one or more operation members included in the endoscope when the endoscope is not connected; and an operation execution unit that executes an operation according to the operation state signal that is input to the input unit.

Abstract: An endoscopic processor includes a video signal input unit to which a video signal of an image of a subject is input, a release signal input unit to which a release signal performed by a user is input, a target area detector that detects a target area in which an amount of characteristics is greater than a predetermined threshold with respect to each frame image in the input video signal, a zoom processor that generates an enlarged image of the target area detected by the target area detector, a storage that associates and holds the enlarged image generated by the zoom processor and a frame image from which the target area has been detected, and an output unit that externally outputs, from the storage, the frame image that corresponds to a timing at which the release signal was input to the release signal input unit, and the enlarged image.

Abstract: A medical system includes a first storage that stores image information on an image that is obtained by an imaging device capturing an image of a reference subject and on which image processing is performed by a first processing device, a second storage that stores image information on an image that is obtained by the imaging device capturing an image of the reference subject and on which image processing is performed by a second processing device, a comparison unit that compares the image information stored in the first storage with the image information stored in the second storage, and a setting changing unit that changes an image processing setting of the second processing device on the basis of a result of the comparison, such that the image information stored in the second storage is identical or substantially identical to the image information stored in the first storage.
