Claim:
1. An endoscope image recording apparatus for recording examination image data including data of still images of a preset, plural number of examination parts based on an image signal which is output from an endoscope when a patient is subjected to an endoscopic examination, comprising: an endoscope control apparatus; a data storage unit that stores, based on the image data, moving image data representing a moving image and still image data representing still images each of which is imaged upon reception of a prescribed instruction; a number-of-recorded-images detecting unit that detects the number of recorded still images from the still image data stored in the data storage unit; a number-of-images comparing and judging unit that compares the number of recorded still images detected by the number-of-recorded-images detecting unit with a total number of images which corresponds to the plural examination parts, and that judges whether or not the number of recorded still images is smaller than the total number of images; a signal output unit that outputs an image acquisition assist signal for acquisition of a missing still image from the moving image data stored in the data storage unit when the number-of-images comparing and judging unit judges that the number of recorded still images is smaller than the total number of images; and a control section that provides control for the data storage unit, the number-of-recorded images detecting unit, the number-of-images comparing and judging unit, and the signal output unit.
