1. An image processing device comprising:
an image processor configured to:
acquire an endoscopic image obtained by imaging a subject with an endoscope;
calculate biological information on the basis of the endoscopic image;
set a reference value of the biological information;
generate a biological information image obtained by forming the biological information as an image so that a low value region equal to or lower than the reference value and the other region are distinguishable from each other;
generate a display image in which the biological information image is superimposed on the endoscopic image;
determine that the reference value is not appropriate in a case where a quasi-low value region in which the biological information is higher than the reference value and equal to or lower than a preset set value is present in the biological information image; and
perform a notification regarding the reference value in a case where it is determined the reference value is not appropriate.
