Abstract
In the endoscopic examination support apparatus, the image acquisition means acquires an endoscopic image taken by an endoscope. The first lesion detection means detects a lesion candidate from the endoscopic image, using a machine learning model that learned a relationship between the lesion candidate and a normal state of a large intestine. The second lesion detection means detects a lesion candidate from the endoscopic image, using a machine learning model that learned a relationship between the lesion candidate and a predetermined state of the large intestine. The output means outputs at least one of a detection result of the first lesion detection means and a detection result of the second lesion detection means.
