According to a body cavity interior observing apparatus of the present
invention, a non-tracked region to be displayed can be switched between a
first non-tracked region and a second non-tracked region which is larger
than the first non-tracked region, and in a search for an affected area
in which it is preferable to track a treating instrument in order to
consistently align the position of treating instrument to the central
part of the screen, the first non-tracked region having a smaller
non-tracked region is selected, while in a treatment of an affected area
in which a treating instrument is moved in a wide range of area, the
second non-tracked region having a larger non-tracked region is selected,
thereby an appropriate monitor screen can be provided in searching for an
affected area and in treating an affected area.
