Abstract:
1. A medical system comprising: a medical device to be inserted into a body cavity; a rotating device for the medical device for rotating the medical device around an insertion axis; an image pickup device provided to the medical device; an image capturing timing detection device for detecting an image capturing timing signal with respect to image capturing timing performed by the image pickup device; a rotating angle acquisition device for acquiring rotating angle information of the rotating device for the medical device with respect to the image capturing timing in response to the output of the image capturing timing detection device; and an image acquisition device for performing rotation processing so as to rotate an image captured by the image pickup device based upon the rotating angle information acquired by the rotating angle acquisition device, thereby obtaining the image subjected to the rotation processing, wherein the rotating angle acquisition device acquires the rotating angle of the rotational magnetic field with respect to a point in time after a delay time has elapsed from reception of output of the image capturing timing detection device up to image capturing performed by the image pickup device.
