Abstract: An image processing system includes one or more processors comprising hardware configured to sequentially acquire time-series images captured by an endoscope, a dispose an evaluation mesh including a plurality of analysis points in a freely-selected timing image out of the time-series images, deform the evaluation mesh in each image of the time-series images so that each analysis point in each image of the time-series images tracks a characteristic point of an object located on each analysis point in the freely-selected timing image in which the evaluation mesh is disposed, calculate a deformation quantity of each cell of the evaluation mesh based on magnitude and a direction of a movement quantity of each analysis point in each image, and present information regarding deformation of the evaluation mesh based on the calculated deformation quantity.

Abstract: A medical system includes a memory which stores a trained model, and a processor. The trained model is a model trained by training data including an endoscopic image and a contact state between a treatment tool and a tissue in the endoscopic image. The endoscopic image is captured by an endoscope which captures an image including the treatment tool and a tissue to be treated. The processor acquires the endoscopic image including the treatment tool and the tissue. The processor uses the trained model to detect, from the endoscopic image, the contact state between the treatment tool and the tissue as first information.

Abstract: An endoscope system includes an endoscope, a robot arm that moves the endoscope, and a controller that controls the endoscope and the robot arm. The controller is configured to receive an image acquired by the endoscope, calculate a first orientation of a first treatment tool in a first image, which is the image received at a given point in time, calculate a second orientation of a second treatment tool in a second image, which is the image received a predetermined time before the first image, calculate a difference between the first orientation and the second orientation, determine whether or not the endoscope follows movement of the first treatment tool by comparing the difference with a threshold value, and in response to determining that the endoscope follows the movement of the first treatment tool, generate a command for the robot arm for making the endoscope follow the first treatment tool.

Abstract: A treatment instrument includes: a shaft; an end effector disposed on a distal side of the shaft; a joint connecting the end effector to a distal end of the shaft; a first part connected to a proximal side of the shaft and configured to bend the joint; wires each connecting the joint and the first part through the shaft and each configured to generate tension in response to an operation of the first part; and a second part connected to the proximal side of the shaft and configured to integrally rotate the shaft, the end effector, the joint, the first part, and the wires about a rotation axis passing through central axes of the shaft, the end effector, the joint, and the first part. The first part includes: a joystick displaceable in a direction intersecting a central axis of the shaft; and a lock fixing a position of the joystick.

Abstract: Provided is an endoscope system including an endoscope that images living tissue to be treated by at least one instrument; and a control device that includes a processor configured to derive at least one of the following information: grasp assistance information on a grasping operation to grasp the living tissue by the at least one instrument, and traction assistance information on a traction operation for traction of the living tissue by the at least one instrument, based on an endoscopic image acquired by the endoscope.

Abstract: An offer collecting system for a desired storehouse for keeping products and parts, includes a server connected with a network and having a storage section and a server display unit; a plurality of offerer terminals connected with the network; and an offer collection terminal connected with the server directly or through the network and having a terminal display unit. The offer collection terminal sets first and second collection condition sets in the storage section of the server. The server produces a storehouse offer collection display based on the first collection condition set to provide to the plurality of offerer terminals by displaying the storehouse offer collection display on the server display unit and stores offer data from each of the plurality of offerer terminals in the storage section.
