Patent ID: 8300090

Claim:
An in-vivo image acquiring system comprising: a body-insertable apparatus which is introduced into a subject, and wirelessly transmits image information including captured images of an inside of the subject to an outside of the subject; and a processing apparatus which processes the image information wirelessly transmitted from the body-insertable apparatus, wherein the body-insertable apparatus comprises an imaging unit which captures images of the inside of the subject, and a transmitting unit which attaches type information which corresponds to optical information in the imaging unit to the image information including the images captured by the imaging unit, and transmits the image information, and the processing apparatus comprises a storage unit which stores therein combinations of each piece of the optical information corresponding to each piece of the type information, and image processing programs corresponding to each piece of the optical information, and an image processing unit which acquires the optical information corresponding to the type information which is attached to the image information to be processed from the optical information stored in the storage unit, and processes the image information to be processed using the image processing program, of the image processing programs stored in the storage unit, which corresponds to the acquired optical information, wherein the type information indicates an applied portion of the body-insertable apparatus, and the image processing unit acquires the optical information corresponding to a portion other than the applied portion of the body-insertable apparatus, and processes the image information corresponding to the portion other than the applied portion of the body-insertable apparatus as the image information to be processed using the image processing program corresponding to the acquired optical information.
