Medical support device, endoscope system, medical support method, and program

A medical support method comprising:

• generating, based on an image obtained by imaging an interior portion of a luminal organ, positional information that enables identification of a lumen position that is a position in the image of a lumen shown in the image;
• outputting visible information that enables visual identification of the lumen position in the image on a screen based on the positional information;
• and
• suppressing output of the visible information based on an amount of deviation about a center of the image between the lumen position identified from reference positional information that is the positional information and the lumen position identified from subsequent positional information that is the positional information generated after the reference positional information.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program executable by a computer to execute comprising:

• generating, based on an image obtained by imaging an interior portion of a luminal organ, positional information that enables identification of a lumen position that is a position in the image of a lumen shown in the image;
• outputting visible information that enables visual identification of the lumen position in the image on a screen based on the positional information;
• and
• suppressing output of the visible information based on an amount of deviation about a center of the image between the lumen position identified from reference positional information that is the positional information and the lumen position identified from subsequent positional information that is the positional information generated after the reference positional information.
