PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vascular channel visualization device that is attached detachably to personally-used eyeglasses to be used by an operator for the purpose of vision correction, etc. and facilitates confirmation of a vascular channel and an operation of the vascular channel by simultaneously enabling both visual observation of an operation part and observation of the operation part via monitoring means.SOLUTION: A vascular channel visualization device 1 comprises: illumination means 10 near-infrared image signal generation means 20 including imaging means 21 and monitoring means 30. The illumination means irradiates at least a near infrared ray to an operation part. The near-infrared image signal generation means including the imaging means captures an image of the operation part illuminated by the illumination means and then obtains a near-infrared image signal. The monitoring means inputs the near-infrared image signal generated by the near-infrared image signal generation means and then displays a near-infrared image of the treated part. The illumination means, at least the imaging means in the near-infrared image generation means, and the monitoring means, are attached detachably to eyeglasses that comprise a pair of lenses and temples and are usable independently during the non-operation time.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】施術者が視力補正などの目的で使用する自己使用の眼鏡に着脱可能に装着されて目視による施術部の観察とモニタ手段を経由した施術部の観察とを併用可能にして脈管の確認と施術が容易な脈管可視化装置を提供する。【解決手段】脈管可視化装置1は、照明手段10、撮像手段21を含む近赤外線画像信号生成手段20、モニタ手段30を具備している。照明手段は、少なくとも近赤外線を施術部に向かって照射する。撮像手段を含む近赤外線画像信号生成手段は、照明手段によって照明された施術部を撮影して近赤外線画像信号を得る。モニタ手段は、近赤外線画像信号生成手段によって生成された近赤外線画像信号を入力して施術部の近赤外線画像を表示する。照明手段、近赤外線画像生成手段の少なくとも撮像手段およびモニタ手段は、一対のレンズおよびテンプルを備え非施術時には単独で使用し得る眼鏡に着脱可能に装着される。【選択図】図1
