Abstract: A medical apparatus of the present invention includes a medical device configured to be introduced into a body, and the medical apparatus further includes: an image pickup portion which is provided in the medical device and picks up an image of a subject to be examined in the body; a securing portion configured to secure the medical device to a wall in the body; and a grasping unit which is arranged in parallel to the image pickup portion, incorporates at least one assistance apparatus that assists the image pickup, and is configured to be grasped when the medical apparatus is introduced and retracted in and out of the body.

Abstract: An endoscope system of the invention includes an elongated insertion portion; an image pickup portion provided with an objective optical system having an optical axis diagonal to a longitudinal axis direction of the insertion portion and that picks up an image of a subject present in a field of view of the objective optical system and can rotate around the longitudinal axis of the insertion portion; a rotation angle detection portion that detects a rotation angle of the image pickup portion; an image pickup control portion that can have images of a plurality of subjects picked up while the image pickup portion makes one rotation by controlling the image pickup portion on the basis of the rotation angle detected by the rotation angle detection portion; and a signal processing portion that carries out signal processing for having each image of the plurality of subjects displayed on one display portion.

Abstract: An endoscopic system of the present invention includes an endoscope having an input portion, a monitor which displays an image taken with the endoscope, and an observation apparatus which is detachably attached to the endoscope, and which, when connected to the endoscope, automatically displays on the monitor a setting view on which a setting can be made through the input portion.

Abstract: A base member formed of rubber or the like, which transmits ultrasound waves, includes a storage portion with a small width connected with a storage portion with a great width, wherein internal organ models, formed of animal internal organs or the like, such as an esophagus model, stomach model, and the like, are stored in these storage portions. A jelly-like member, which transmits ultrasound waves, is filled in around the internal organ models. An ultrasonic endoscope or the like can be inserted through an inserting hole so as to obtain ultrasonic images generally the same as with a case of inserting the ultrasonic endoscope or the like into a human body, thereby providing a training device which can be easily used.

Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic device comprises an ultrasound endoscope, an ultrasound diagnostic signal processing device and a monitor and is arranged to obtain an ultrasound diagnostic image by performing transmission/reception of ultrasound signals with respect to a detection subject within a body cavity. The ultrasound endoscope comprises an insertion section inserted into a body cavity, an operating section and a connecting cord. A biopsy needle insertion/retraction section is employed for forward or backward insertion/retraction of a biopsy needle. The subject may be pierced by the needle tip of a biopsy needle that protrudes from a biopsy needle protrusion port at the tip of an insertion section of the ultrasound endoscope which has been inserted. The monitor displays the biopsy needle in the ultrasound diagnostic image.
