For each finding, a finding image recorder records as a finding image an endoscopic image captured in the past. A compression processing unit performs a compression process on an endoscopic image captured by a capsule endoscope so as to generate a compressed image. A similarity determination unit determines, when the compression processing unit performs a compression process on the endoscopic image, whether or not the endoscopic image is similar to a finding image recorded in the finding image recorder. When the endoscopic image is determined to be similar to the finding image by the similarity determination unit, the compression processing unit adds predetermined information to the compressed image.
An endoscopic image observation support system for supporting observation of an endoscopic image captured by a capsule endoscope and for generating a plurality of compressed images by performing a compression process on a plurality of endoscopic images captured by the capsule endoscope, comprising:
