The present invention provides a technique capable of objectively
discriminating the constituent of a subject also in an image in which
density difference is not easily discriminated on a gray image obtained
by image capturing for medical use using X-rays. An image capturing
system for medical use includes: a detecting unit for detecting an X-ray
dose by absorbing X-rays passed through a subject in image capturing for
medical use and outputting absorbed X-ray dose information; an obtaining
unit for obtaining image information of the subject from the absorbed
X-ray dose information; an image processing unit for calculating average
detection energy in each first predetermined region in the image
information; and an output unit for outputting the average detection
energy.
