Claim 0:
1. A medical image processing device comprising:
a first captured image acquisition circuit configured to acquire a first left-eye image and a first right-eye image having parallax each of which is obtained by capturing light from an observation target irradiated with light in a first wavelength band, the observation target emitting fluorescence when irradiated with excitation light in a second wavelength band different from the first wavelength band;
a second captured image acquisition circuit configured to acquire a second left-eye image and a second right-eye image having parallax each of which is obtained by capturing the fluorescence from the observation target irradiated with the excitation light;
a superimposed image generation circuit configured to superimpose corresponding pixels of the first left-eye image and the second left-eye image on each other to generate a left-eye fluorescence superimposed image and superimpose corresponding pixels of the first right-eye image and the second right-eye image on each other to generate a right-eye fluorescence superimposed image;
a display control circuit configured to generate a display image from the first left-eye image, the first right-eye image, the second left-eye image, the second right-eye image, the left-eye fluorescence superimposed image, and the right-eye fluorescence superimposed image,
wherein the display image includes a stereoscopically observable three-dimensional fluorescence superimposed image generated from the left-eye fluorescence superimposed image and the right-eye fluorescence superimposed image;
a first image processor configured to execute image processing on the first left-eye image;
a second image processor configured to execute image processing on the first right-eye image;
a third image processor configured to execute image processing on the second left-eye image;
a fourth image processor configured to execute image processing on the second right-eye image;
a mode switching circuit configured to switch between a first observation mode or a second observation mode; and
a control circuit configured to
output the first left-eye image, the first right-eye image, the second left-eye image, and the second right-eye image to the first image processor, the second image processor, the third image processor, and the fourth image processor, respectively, in the first observation mode, and
output four divided images divided from one of the first left-eye image and the first right-eye image to the first image processor, the second image processor, the third image processor, and the fourth image processor, in the second observation mode, and
the superimposed image generation circuit is configured to generate the left-eye fluorescence superimposed image and the right-eye fluorescence superimposed image in the first observation mode.
