Abstract

A fluoroscopy apparatus is adopted which includes a fluorescence-image generating section that generates a fluorescence image of a subject, a white-light-image generating section that generates a white-light image of the subject, a fluorescence-image correcting section that generates a corrected fluorescence image in which luminance values of pixels are normalized by dividing the luminance values of the pixels of the fluorescence image by the luminance values of the pixels of the white-light image, an error-image identifying section that standardizes white-light-image acquisition conditions and identifies an error region, which is a region in which the luminance values of the corrected fluorescence image exceed a preset allowable error range, on the basis of a gray level of the normalized white-light image, and a monitor that displays the error region.
