Abstract:
A medical imaging device includes: a first and a second imaging units configured to capture a first and a second optical images having parallax, respectively; a first and a second imaging optical systems configured to form the first and the second optical images on light receiving surfaces of the first and the second imaging units, respectively; a dirt detecting unit configured to detect dirt adhered to at least one of the first and the second imaging optical systems; an image generation unit configured to generate a three-dimensional image based on a first captured image based on the first image signal and a second captured image based on the second image signal; and an image selector configured to select a captured image to be output from the first captured image and the second captured image based on a detection result of the dirt by the dirt detecting unit.

Claim (Index 3):
The medical imaging device according to  claim 2 , further comprising:\n a first detecting unit including the first dirt detecting unit and configured to perform a detection process by using the first image signal captured by the first imaging unit; a second detecting unit including the second dirt detecting unit and configured to perform a detection process by using the second image signal captured by the second imaging unit; and a detection switching unit configured to:\n set the first detecting unit as a detecting unit that executes detection when no dirt is detected by the first dirt detecting unit; and \n set the second detecting unit as the detecting unit that executes detection when the dirt is detected by the first dirt detecting unit, wherein one of the first dirt detecting unit and the second dirt detecting unit executes the dirt detection in accordance with the detecting unit that executes detection, and wherein the image selector selects the captured image corresponding to the image signal of a dirt detection target.
