Abstract
In order to support determination of a disease stage, there are provided a medical image processing system, an endoscope system, a diagnostic support apparatus, and a medical service support apparatus for reliably acquiring an index value relevant to visibility with respect to the state of red blood cells or the degree of irregularity of a gland duct structure according to the disease stage determination accuracy desired by a doctor. A light source unit emits a plurality of illumination light beams having different wavelength bands and different visibilities for red blood cells. An image acquisition unit acquires a plurality of medical images corresponding to respective illumination light beams by imaging an observation target illuminated with the respective illumination light beams. A red blood cell index value acquisition unit acquires a red blood cell index value, which is obtained by indexing the visibility of red blood cells, from each of the medical images.
