    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a processor having hardware. The processor acquires a first image, a second image, and a third image of living tissue irradiated with first light, second light, and third light, respectively, calculates an index value that is correlated with a blood volume in the living tissue based on signal values of the first image and the second image, and calculates oxygen saturation of the living tissue based on the index value and a signal value of the third image. Each of the first light and the second light has a wavelength at which an absorption coefficient of oxygenated hemoglobin and an absorption coefficient of deoxygenated hemoglobin are the same, and the third light has a wavelength at which the absorption coefficients of the oxygenated hemoglobin and the absorption coefficient of the deoxygenated hemoglobin are different from each other.

    Abstract: A biological-image generating method includes: acquiring first and second images of biological tissue respectively irradiated with first and second illumination light; and generating a biological image from the first and second images. The first illumination light has a wavelength which is selected from a range between 500 nm and 600 nm and at which reflectance thereof is not dependent on an oxygen saturation. The second illumination light has a wavelength which is selected from a range between 600 nm and 800 nm and at which reflectance thereof is dependent on the oxygen saturation. The generating includes: calculating an indicator value expressing the oxygen saturation from a first pixel value of each pixel in the first image and a second pixel value of each pixel in the second image; and allocating a display mode corresponding to the indicator value to each pixel of the biological image.

    Abstract: A light source device includes a first light source, a second light source, and a processor. The processor controls, based on spectrum setting information, an emitted light amount of the first light source and an emitted light amount of the second light source so that the emitted light amount of the first light source becomes larger than the emitted light amount of the second light source. The observation object includes a region of interest, a merkmal, and a peripheral portion. The spectrum setting information is set based on a merkmal observed ratio that is a ratio between a spectral reflectance in the merkmal and a spectral reflectance in the peripheral portion. A degree of disassociation of the merkmal observed ratio in the first wavelength region from 1 is greater than a degree of disassociation of the merkmal observed ratio in the second wavelength region from 1.
