Abstract
A medical system can include a light source configured to generate excitation light; and a processor including a memory, the processor: controlling energy supplied to an energy device, the light source generating the excitation light to generate fluorescence from the living body tissue heat treated by the energy device; generating a fluorescence image based on an image pickup signal obtained by imaging the living body tissue; and generating a control signal that restricts energy supply to the energy device and output the control signal to the energy control apparatus when a pixel value of at least one pixel in the fluorescence image exceeds a first threshold value.
