A dynamic analysis system includes a hardware processor. A first plurality of frame images showing a dynamic state of a chest of an intubated first examinee is obtained by radiation imaging of the chest of the first examinee. Based on the first plurality of frame images, the hardware processor calculates a signal value change amount and/or a shape change amount of a predetermined structure of the chest in the first plurality of frame images. Based on the calculated signal value change amount and/or shape change amount, the hardware processor generates assessment information to assess a respiratory status of the first examinee at time of intubation or extubation.
