Medical device, medical system, learning device, operation method of medical device, and computer-readable recording medium

A medical system comprising:

• a light source device including a light source configured to emit excitation light for exciting an advanced glycation end-product generated by subjecting a biological tissue to a thermal treatment;
• an imaging device including an imaging element configured to generate an imaging signal by capturing fluorescence emitted by the excitation light;
• and
• a medical device comprising a processor comprising hardware, the processor being configured to:
• acquire a thermally denatured image including at least a thermally denatured region;
• specify a specific region included in the thermally denatured image;
• set, based on the specific region, a detection range serving as a target range for detecting the thermally denatured region in the thermally denatured image;
• determine whether the thermally denatured region is included in the detection range;
• and
• output thermal denaturation information when the thermally denatured region is included in the detection range.

An operation method of a medical device comprising a processor, the operation method causing the processor to execute:

• acquiring a thermally denatured image including at least a thermally denatured region;
• specifying a specific region included in the thermally denatured image;
• setting, based on the specific region, a detection range serving as a target range for detecting the thermally denatured region in the thermally denatured image;
• determining whether the thermally denatured region is included in the detection range;
• and
• outputting thermal denaturation information when the thermally denatured region is included in the detection range.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium with an executable program stored thereon, the program causing a processor of a medical device driven to execute:

• acquiring a thermally denatured image including at least a thermally denatured region;
• specifying a specific region included in the thermally denatured image;
• setting, based on the specific region, a detection range serving as a target range for detecting the thermally denatured region in the thermally denatured image;
• determining whether the thermally denatured region is included in the detection range;
• and
• outputting thermal denaturation information when the thermally denatured region is included in the detection range.
