Abstract
In a correction mode, a correction image is displayed on an extension display, and a specific region is displayed on the extension display. In the correction mode, a display style control unit performs at least one of changing a display style of the correction image or changing a display style of the specific region in accordance with reliability related to calculation of the oxygen saturation.
Claims13
An endoscope system comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- switch between an oxygen saturation mode for calculating an oxygen saturation of blood hemoglobin and a correction mode for displaying a correction image on a display and displaying a specific region on the display, the correction mode being a mode in which correction processing related to calculation of the oxygen saturation is performed based on a specific pigment concentration of a specific pigment other than the blood hemoglobin included in the specific region,
- the specific pigment concentration being calculated based on a specific pigment image signal including image information of a wavelength range having sensitivity to the specific pigment;
- and
- in the correction mode, perform at least one of changing a display style of the correction image, or changing a display style of the specific region in accordance with reliability related to the calculation of the oxygen saturation,
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- determine whether it is possible to appropriately perform the correction processing, based on the reliability in the specific region;
- and
- make the display style of the specific region different between when it is possible to appropriately perform the correction processing and when it is not possible to appropriately perform the correction processing.

A method for operating an endoscope system including a processor, the method comprising:
- a step of, by the processor, switching between an oxygen saturation mode for calculating an oxygen saturation of blood hemoglobin and a correction mode for displaying a correction image on a display and displaying a specific region on the display, the correction mode being a mode in which correction processing related to calculation of the oxygen saturation is performed based on a specific pigment concentration of a specific pigment other than the blood hemoglobin included in the specific region, wherein
- the specific pigment concentration is calculated based on a specific pigment image signal including image information of a wavelength range having sensitivity to the specific pigment, and
- in the correction mode, at least one of changing a display style of the correction image or changing a display style of the specific region in accordance with reliability related to the calculation of the oxygen saturation is performed,
- wherein the processor further performs:
- a step of determining whether it is possible to appropriately perform the correction processing, based on the reliability in the specific region;
- and
- a step of making the display style of the specific region different between when it is possible to appropriately perform the correction processing and when it is not possible to appropriately perform the correction processing.
