Abstract
To generate a medical image with high visibility in fluorescence observation. A medical image generation apparatus () according to the present application includes an acquisition unit (), a calculation unit (), and a generation unit (). An acquisition unit () acquires a first medical image captured with fluorescence of a predetermined wavelength and a second medical image captured with fluorescence of a wavelength different from the predetermined wavelength. A calculation unit () calculates a degree of scattering, indicating a degree of blurring of fluorescence of a living body, included in the first medical image and the second medical image acquired by the acquisition unit (). A generation unit () generates an output image on the basis of at least one of the degrees of scattering calculated by the calculation unit ().
