A biopsy support system includes a virtual shape image generating section that generates a virtual shape image of an inside of a body cavity which is an insertion target from image data in a three-dimensional region with respect to a subject, an endoscope provided with an endoscope insertion portion and a channel, an ultrasound probe inserted into the channel including an ultrasound transducer and a position sensor that detects a three-dimensional position provided at a distal end portion thereof, an ultrasound image generating section that generates an ultrasound tomographic image, a specification section for specifying a first end and a second end in a desired range along a direction in which the ultrasound probe protrudes when the distal end portion of the ultrasound probe is moved along the direction in which the ultrasound probe protrudes from the distal end of the channel, a position detection section that detects a three-dimensional position of the position sensor based on the first end and the second end specified by the specification section and an image display control section that displays a biopsy range in which a biopsy is performed using the biopsy treatment instrument set based on the three-dimensional position superimposed on a position corresponding to the biopsy range on the virtual shape image. |
