Image capture device and image capture method

Abstract

Provided is image information for appropriately verifying and ascertaining a shape and state of a surface and an interior of a photographic subject which is an operation object. An image capture device comprises: light source units (2, 40) further comprising light sources which have wavelengths of a plurality of bands; an image capture unit (15) which electrically converts a measured light source optical image of a plurality of bands from the light source units which is reflected with a surface and an interior of a photographic subject into a plurality of measured image capture signals; computation units (13, 16, 19) which, on the basis of the plurality of measured image capture signals which are converted with the image capture unit, measure a shape of the surface and a shape of the interior of the photographic subject; and a composite processing unit (19) which composite processes the shape of the surface and the shape of the interior which are measured with the computation units, and generates either two-dimensional image data or three-dimensional image data relating to the photographic subject.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention belongs to the field of medical cameras used in surgery, and relates to an imaging device and an imaging method for three-dimensional image measurement of an imaging object. Background technique [0002] In the three-dimensional measurement device used in medical treatment such as surgery, the prior art uses ultraviolet light, visible light or near-infrared light to measure the three-dimensional position of a specific part of the human body based on imaging information obtained from a plurality of cameras (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Publication No. 3152810 [0004] However, the prior art has the following problems. [0005] According to Patent Document 1, it is suitable for measurement of a specific site by using a special probe. Therefore, it is not suitable for measuring a certain range related to the surgical site. In addition, three-dimensional information as a meas...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] For example, if there are lymph nodes, veins, arteries and other vascular parts directly below the part to be removed by surgery, and these parts cannot be damaged with a scalpel during the operation, it can only rely on the experience and experience of the operator. feeling, and therefore often at risk

That is, there is a problem that it is difficult to operate in actual surgery only relying on the surface information in the visible range of the naked eye
