Abstract
An endoscope apparatus includes: a lesion information acquisition unit that acquires acquired lesion information; a lesion identification unit that compares existing lesion information with the acquired lesion information and determines whether the acquired lesion information corresponds to the same lesion indicated by the existing lesion information; a lesion count unit that counts a lesion count, which is the number of lesions detected in a single endoscopic examination; a display unit; and a control unit that increments the lesion count counted by the lesion count unit by one when the lesion identification unit determines that the acquired lesion information does not correspond to the same lesion indicated by the existing lesion information.
