| Abstract | A medical signal processing apparatus receives input of an image signal corresponding to an inspection result of a subject and processes the image signal. The medical signal processing apparatus includes a programmable logic device including a plurality of functional blocks. Any functional block among the functional blocks is a communication functional block configured to communicate the image signal to another external device different from the medical signal processing apparatus. The communication functional block is individually resettable among the functional blocks. |

| Claim | A medical signal processing apparatus for receiving input of an image signal corresponding to an inspection result of a subject and processing the image signal, the medical signal processing apparatus comprising: a programmable logic device including a plurality of functional blocks, any functional block among the functional blocks being a communication functional block configured to communicate the image signal to another external device different from the medical signal processing apparatus, wherein the communication functional block is individually resettable among the functional blocks. The medical signal processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a memory that stores therein abnormality information indicating an abnormality in the communication functional block, wherein reset of the communication functional block is executed by initialization of the memory. The medical signal processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the communication functional block includes the memory. The medical signal processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the communication functional block includes: a signal processor that executes signal processing; and an error detector that detects an abnormality in the signal processor and outputs an error signal when detecting the abnormality, and any functional block among the functional blocks is a reset functional block that resets only the communication functional block among the functional blocks in response to the error signal from the error detector. The medical signal processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein any functional block among the functional blocks is a reset functional block that individually resets the communication functional block among the functional blocks in response to a reset signal output from the external device. The medical signal processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein power-on reset is executable that rests the entire functional blocks when the medical signal processing apparatus is powered on and the communication functional block is individually resettable among the functional blocks at a timing different from the power-on reset. The medical signal processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the communication functional block is individually resettable among the functional blocks immediately after startup of the medical signal processing apparatus. The medical signal processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the communication functional block is a high speed serial interface that communicates the image signal at a transmission rate of 1 Gbps or more to the external device. The medical signal processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the communication functional block communicates a signal in which a clock is superimposed on the image signal to the external device. A medical observation system comprising: a medical signal processing apparatus configured to receive input of an image signal corresponding to an inspection result of a subject and process the image signal, the medical signal processing apparatus including: a programmable logic device including a plurality of functional blocks, any functional block among the functional blocks being a communication functional block configured to communicate the image signal to another external device different from the medical signal processing apparatus, wherein the communication functional block is individually resettable among the functional blocks; and a display that displays an image for observation corresponding to the image signal processed by the medical signal processing apparatus, wherein the communication functional block is individually resettable among the functional blocks only in a period until the display displays the image for observation after the medical signal processing apparatus is powered on. |
