ABSTRACT:
A treating system includes an endoscope to be inserted into a body of a patient for supplying an endoscopic image of an internal part of the body of the patient, and a treating device to be inserted into the body of the patient for treating an affected area while observing the endoscopic image supplied by the endoscope. The system further includes a holder for holding the endoscope, an image pickup section including an image-pickup optical system for picking up the endoscopic image supplied by the endoscope, and a display for displaying the endoscopic image picked up by the image pickup section. A position detector is provided for detecting position data of an object observed through the endoscope, and a view field switching device is provided for switching a field of view of the endoscopic image picked up by the image pickup section. In addition, a controller is provided for monitoring whether the treating device is operating and for prohibiting the view field switching device from switching the field of view when the treating device is detected to be operating.
