Abstract:
Disclosed is a medical image processing device for generating an image in which a difference in color between an abnormal part where a gastric mucosa is atrophied, and a normal part is enhanced. A B/G ratio is determined from B and G image signals, and a G/R ratio is determined from the G and R image signals. In a feature space formed from the B/G ratio and the G/R ratio, first processing is performed for moving the coordinates of a second range to a reference range including the origin in a state where the coordinates of first and third ranges are maintained. In order to make the first range and the third range distant from each other, second processing is performed for moving the first and third ranges. A first special image is generated based on the B/G ratio and the G/R ratio after the first and second processing.

Claim (Index 12):
An operation method for a medical image processing device comprising:\n a step in which a processing circuitry performs input processing of a first color image signal, at least an image signal of one color in the first color image signal is a narrowband signal; a step in which the processing circuitry calculates a first signal ratio between image signals of two colors in the first color image signal and a second signal ratio between image signals of two colors different from those in the first signal ratio; a step in which the processing circuitry performs, in a feature space formed by the first signal ratio and the second signal ratio, moving processing for moving a first range, a second range, and a third range where an observation target in a subject is distributed, in order to make the first range, the second range, and the third range distant from each other; and a step in which a display unit displays a special image obtained from the first signal ratio and the second signal ratio after the moving processing, the color difference among the first range, the second range, and the third range in the special image is greater than a color difference between the first range, the second range, and the third range in a special image obtained in a case where image signals of all colors of the first color image signal are broadband signals.
