An image capturing apparatus includes: a columnar main body having proximal and distal ends, and having a predetermined length therebetween so as to enable insertion of at least the distal end into an oral cavity; at least one light source provided on the proximal or distal end side of the main body, or to the main body, configured to emit light having a predetermined frequency band; a diffuser plate provided on the proximal or distal end side of the main body, or to the main body, configured to diffuse the emitted light toward the oral cavity; and a camera provided on the proximal or the distal end side of the main body, or to the main body, configured to capture an object image based on reflected light which has been diffused by the diffuser plate and reflected from the oral cavity.

A medical system includes a processor. The processor is configured to calculate a presence probability of a lesion in a not-yet-observed region inside a hollow organ of a patient, the not-yet-observed region being specified on the basis of an image that has been captured by an imaging sensor of an endoscope inside the hollow organ, and spatial disposition information of a distal end of an insertion part of the endoscope.

The medical image processing device includes a processor, in which the processor acquires a medical image obtained by imaging a subject with an endoscope, identifies a tumor region and a non-tumor region from the medical image, generates a demarcation line that is a boundary between the tumor region and the non-tumor region, generates a virtual incision line at a position separated from the demarcation line by a designated distance, and performs control for superimposing the demarcation line and the virtual incision line on the medical image to be displayed.

A medical image processing device a reference image that is a medical image with which boundary line information related to a boundary line that is a boundary between an abnormal region and a normal region and landmark information related to a landmark that is a characteristic structure of the subject are associated and a captured image that is the medical image captured in real time, detects the landmark from the captured image, calculates a ratio of match between the landmark included in the reference image and the landmark included in the captured image, estimates a correspondence relationship between the reference image and the captured image on the basis of the ratio of match and information regarding the landmarks included in the reference image and the captured image, and generates a superimposition image in which the boundary line associated with the reference image is superimposed on the captured image on the basis of the correspondence relationship.

A first illumination light beam is switched to a second illumination light beam and the second illumination light beam is emitted for a period of at least one frame, during a period in which the first illumination light beam is emitted. A first image or a second image obtained by imaging an observation target illuminated with the first illumination light beam or the second illumination light beam is acquired for each frame. At least one first image and at least one second image that satisfy a preset selection condition are selected and stored from a plurality of the first images and a plurality of the second images acquired in a preset period prior to a time of a processing start operation of image storage processing.

An endoscope system includes: an insertion body inserted into a lumen; an objective optical system that is provided in the insertion body and acquires light from a subject as subject light; an image sensor that performs imaging based on the subject light to acquire a captured image within a field of view; a turning mechanism that causes a distal end of the insertion body to rotate around a reference axis that is an axis of the insertion body; an advancing/retreating mechanism that moves the insertion body in a direction corresponding to the reference axis; and a processor that includes hardware and is configured to control the turning mechanism and the advancing/retreating mechanism to control the field of view of the image sensor. The processor controls the turning mechanism and the advancing/retreating mechanism to perform scan of an inner wall of the lumen based on the field of view.

A surgical controlling system for controlling the 3D spatial position of at least one articulating surgical tool includes a controller configured to provide instructions to control movement of the surgical tool.
