  • Patent number: 8467855
    Abstract: Provided is a syringe needle guiding apparatus 4 which creates images of a blood vessel 9 which cannot be directly seen with the naked eyes and of a syringe needle 10 inserted into a body, and which includes a monitor 3 allowing the recognition of the three-dimensional relationship between the blood vessel 9 and the needle 10. In the syringe needle guiding apparatus 4 provided here, the blood vessel 9 is seen through by using near infrared rays and also a part of the needle 10, which cannot be seen through because it is inserted into a body, is reproduced in a form of virtual image. A virtually synthesized image of the blood vessel 9 and the needle 10 is displayed on the monitor 3. Then, a target 88 at which the needle 10 is to be inserted, a direction, a distance 12-A, an angle 12-B of the needle with respect to the blood vessel, and the like are displayed in the synthesized image, so that the positional relationship between the blood vessel and the needle 10 is recognized in a three-dimensional manner.
