Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/063682
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An endoscope insertion shape observation device 1 has: an endoscope 2; a magnetic field generating coil 15, which is provided to an insertion unit 10 of the endoscope 2, and generates a magnetic field; an antenna unit 4 that receives coil signals transmitted from the magnetic field generating coil 15; a bending unit 17 that bends the insertion unit 10 by a predetermined quantity; a bend-drive unit 19 that bend-drives the bending unit 17; an insertion shape processing circuit 21 that generates an insertion shape of the endoscope 2 by means of signals received from the antenna unit 4, said endoscope having been inserted into a subject; a touch panel 5, which displays results generated by means of the insertion shape processing circuit 21, and to which touch operations can be performed; and a drive unit control circuit 23 that controls the drive quantity of the bend-drive unit 19 on the basis of the touch operations performed with respect to the touch panel 5.
