Abstract
Systems and methods for an endoscope system are described. The endoscope system can include a processing apparatus including a processor including hardware. The processor can acquire structure data of an organ, acquire an endoscope image from an imager of an endoscope, and acquire an ultrasonic image from a probe of the endoscope. The processor can automatically control a probe position of the endoscope based on the structure data and the distal end position information of the endoscope in a first control mode, and automatically controls the probe position based on the ultrasonic image in a second control mode.
