The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method of acquiring an image for dental diagnosis. More particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus and a method of acquiring a near-infrared image for dental diagnosis, wherein an image for dental diagnosis is acquired using near-infrared radiation and a general image camera rather than using X-rays.

The present technology relates to a surgical system and a surgical imaging device enabled to reduce latency. The surgical imaging device generates a surgical image by imaging the inside of a living body, a signal processing device performs predetermined signal processing on the surgical image, and a display device displays the surgical image on which the signal processing is performed. The imaging device generates the surgical image on the basis of scan information indicating a scan order of the surgical image. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an endoscopic surgical system.

An image processing apparatus includes: a dividing processing circuit configured to divide an imaging signal that is obtained by capturing an image of inside of a subject into a first base component and a detail component, the first base component corresponding to an illumination component of an object, the detail component corresponding to a reflectance component of the object; a color enhancement processing circuit configured to generate a second base component by performing a color enhancement process on the first base component, the color enhancement process being a process of increasing color gradation of a mucosa color in a predetermined color space; and a synthesizing circuit configured to synthesize the second base component and the detail component to output a synthesized signal.
