15. A medical display control method performed by a medical display controller operably coupled to an electronic display and a medical imaging device, the method comprising:
controlling, using processing circuitry of the medical display controller the imaging device to capture medical images with a first light:
controlling, using the processing circuitry of the medical display controller, the imaging device to capture medical images with a second light different from the first light;
causing, using the processing circuitry of the medical display controller, a first medical image having been captured with the first light and a second medical image having been captured with the second light different from the first light to be simultaneously displayed on the electronic display in a simultaneous display mode in a case where a first display changing manipulation for changing display is detected; and
causing, using the processing circuitry of the medical display controller, only one of the first medical image or the second medical image to be displayed on the electronic display in a case where a second display changing manipulation for changing display is detected while the first medical image and the second medical image are simultaneously displayed based on the first display changing manipulation, wherein
in a case where the first display changing manipulation for changing display is detected while the processing circuitry is controlling the electronic display to display images captured with the first light, the simultaneous display mode is a first mode where the first medical image is an image having been captured as a result of a current imaging and the second medical image is an image having been captured before the first medical image, and
in a case where the first display changing manipulation for changing display is detected while the processing circuitry is controlling the electronic display to display images captured with the second light, the simultaneous display mode is a second mode where the second medical image is an image having been captured as a result of a current imaging and the first medical image is a moving image having been captured before the second medical image, the first medical image being repeatedly played back.
