MEDICAL IMAGING SYSTEM, MEDICAL IMAGING DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18551607 titled 'MEDICAL IMAGING SYSTEM, MEDICAL IMAGING DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD
The abstract describes a medical imaging system that includes a surgery mode setting unit, a region-of-interest setting unit, and a focus processing unit. The system sets a surgery mode and selects an ROI image for AF processing based on the surgery mode. The ROI image is chosen from a Near image, a Mid image, and a Far image captured by three imaging elements with different optical path lengths. The focus processing unit adjusts focus based on an evaluation value obtained from the ROI image.

Original Abstract Submitted
A medical imaging system includes a surgery mode setting unit that sets a surgery mode, a region-of-interest setting unit that sets, on the basis of the surgery mode, an ROI image to be used for performing AF processing, from among a Near image focused on a near point, a Mid image focused on a middle point, and a Far image focused on a far point, the Near image, the Mid image, and the Far image being captured by three pieces of imaging elements having different optical path lengths from one imaging lens, and sets a region of interest in the ROI image, and a focus processing unit that obtains an evaluation value from a region of interest of the ROI image, and adjusts focus. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a medical imaging system capable of capturing an EDOF image.
