More Information
Summary:An endoscope system includes a magnetic detection unit (43, 44), an insertion part (10) of an endoscope that is used by being relatively moved with respect to the magnetic detection unit, and a processor (4P), in which the insertion part includes a tubular member that extends in a longitudinal direction and has a magnetic pattern formed along the longitudinal direction, the magnetic detection unit detects a magnetic flux density in the longitudinal direction and a magnetic flux density in a radial direction at a plurality of positions along the longitudinal direction of the tubular member, and the processor determines a movement state of the insertion part in the longitudinal direction based on the magnetic flux densities.
