Abstract:
An endoscope apparatus includes a processor configured to carry out a reversal process on a side image of a subject picked up with an image pickup device, the reversal process reversing an order of a plurality of pixels located in the side image and arranged from a predetermined position in a radial direction, and cause a display apparatus to display a front image and the side image of the subject picked up with the image pickup device as a display image. The processor adjusts the timing at which the front image is displayed in such a way that the front image acquired simultaneously with the side image is displayed at a timing that accords with the timing at which the side image having undergone the reversal process is displayed on the display apparatus.
