Abstract
An electronic endoscope system includes an electronic endoscope, a processor that includes an evaluation unit, and a monitor. The evaluation unit includes an evaluation value calculation unit that calculates a lesion evaluation value indicating the intensity of lesion in the living tissue in each of the images, an imaging position information acquisition unit that acquires information on the imaging position of each image, a lesion position calculation unit that determines the presence or absence of the lesion based on whether the lesion evaluation value exceeds a predetermined threshold and obtains a start position and an end position of a region of a lesion portion, and an organ lesion evaluation unit that evaluates a degree of lesion in the organ using a length of the lesion portion calculated from the start position and the end position and a representative value of the lesion evaluation value.
