抄録

It is known that 3-D imaging enhances the ability to perform delicate endoscopic maneuvers, such as dissection or precise suturing. Moreover, it provides observers with a better understanding of spatial anatomy. We propose here a 3-D polarization-type endoscopic imaging system, which has three features of stereo endoscopic image processing features: real time image capture, retrieval, and presentation of left and right images on a TFf-LCD monitor. We also compare the established 2-D type, the electric shutter-type 3-D imaging, and the new polarizationtype 3-D endoscopic imaging systems in terms of the performance of laparoscopic tasks in an animate situation. The polarization-type 3-D system is shown to be superior to the electric shutter-type in image quality, stability of performance, and speed based on the testing of suturing and loop passing.
