<p>A fluorescence endoscope and a fluorescence measuring method both for easily and simply distinguishing a normal region from a lesion region by reducing the influence of the distance to the subject. The fluorescence endoscope is characterized by comprising a light source (7) for emitting light to shine a subject, fluorescence imaging means (23) for capturing fluorescence contained in the returning light emitted from the subject (3), fluorescence image creating means (37) for creating fluorescence image data from the data on the captured fluorescence, region-of-interest determining means (39) for determining a region of interest where the intensity of fluorescence is higher than those in the surrounding region according to the data on the acquired fluorescence, proximal region determining means (41) for determining a proximal region near the region of interest , and image computing means (43) for creating corrected image data according to the ratio of the gray-scale level of the fluorescence intensity in the region of interest to that in the proximal region.</p> |
