Abstract
An endoscope system includes a processor including an image processing unit that obtains an inflammation evaluation value in which a degree of inflammation of a biological tissue is digitized on the basis of information of a color component of an image of the biological tissue, from the image that is obtained by imaging the biological tissue, and a monitor displaying the inflammation evaluation value. The image processing unit includes a blood vessel region determination unit obtaining certainty of a blood vessel region of the biological tissue in the image, a pixel evaluation value generation unit obtaining a pixel evaluation value by performing digitization processing with respect to each of the pixels of the image, a pixel evaluation value adjustment unit calculating an adjustment value in which the pixel evaluation value is reduced as the certainty of the blood vessel region increases.
