A diagnosis assisting apparatus includes a region extraction section configured to perform a process for extracting, from among fluorescence images obtained by picking up images of fluorescence generated when a desired object in a subject is irradiated with excitation light, a reference region to be handled as a reference for a fluorescence generation state and a region of interest to be handled as a comparison target of the fluorescence generation state, respectively, a calculation processing section configured to perform a calculation process for calculating a calculation value indicating an intensity ratio of the fluorescence of the region of interest to the reference region based on a luminance value of each pixel included in the reference region and a luminance value of each pixel included in the region of interest, a storage section configured to store the calculation value calculated by the calculation processing section, and an image processing section configured to perform a process for causing a display apparatus to display information indicating a variation over time of the calculation value stored in the storage section. |
