Abstract
An endoscopic image processing apparatus includes an image acquiring unit, a region-of-interest detection unit, a detection cessation determination unit, a display determination unit, and a display output unit. The detection cessation determination unit determines whether a detection of a region of interest in the region-of-interest detection unit has ceased. The display determination unit performs a display propriety determination as a determination of whether to display assisting information on a display unit, when a cessation determination is acquired in the detection cessation determination unit. The assisting information is information for assisting the region of interest, the detection of which has ceased, to be restored on a screen of a display unit.
