Claim 9:
10. A method of setting a region of interest, comprising the steps of:
emitting treatment light in a specific wavelength range to a medical agent administered to a body of a subject from a plurality of treatment probes which are inserted into the body from outside the body of the subject and irradiate the treatment light inside the body of the subject, when performing treatment for killing a cancer cell, the medical agent containing a fluorescent material;
acquiring fluorescence intensity of fluorescence emitted by the fluorescent material of the medical agent excited by the treatment light;
capturing a treatment light image based on the treatment light;
setting a plurality of treatment light regions corresponding to each of said plurality of treatment probes based on the treatment light image;
calculating position information for each of the plurality of treatment light regions;
setting a reference region based on the position information for each of the plurality of treatment light regions; and
setting a first region of interest, which is a region in which a time variation of the fluorescence intensity is acquired, so that a portion of the first region of interest is included inside the reference region.
