Abstract
We produced a still image filing system of electronic pictures taken by electronic endoscopy, utilizing its following advantage; digital expression of fine optical image by charged coupled device (CCD). This system was composed of electronic endoscopy (Fujinon EVE system) and image file processor (SONY, SID-100). Still images were recorded on the optical memory disk by digital forming. It was managed in conjunction with the personal computer and the image file processor. It was found that the quality of the color picture digitally recorded on the optical memory disk was extremely better than the one recorded on the video tape or optical disk in the analog format. It was possible that this filing system was available to an image database as well as an image analysis.
