The present invention provides a lightweight and compact endoscope photographing apparatus and an endoscope photographing system that can efficiently cool a plurality of heat generating elements including a solid-state image sensor. The endoscope imaging device 100 includes an endoscope 110, and the imaging device 130 includes a housing 131 that forms a sealed space, an air supply tube 164A and an air discharge tube 164B that are connected to the housing, and an air supply and exhaust device 160 via The air supply pipe forcibly supplies air to the casing, and forcibly discharges air from the casing via the air discharge pipe; and an air cooling device 162 performs air flowing in the air supply pipe Cooling; the frame, the air supply pipe, and the air discharge pipe are connected to form a closed space. A first airflow that cools the first heat sink 1316 and a second airflow that cools the second heat sink 1336 are generated in the casing.本發明提供一種可有效率地冷卻包含固體攝像元件的多個發熱元件、輕量且小型的內視鏡攝影裝置以及內視鏡攝影系統。內視鏡攝影裝置100包括:內視鏡110;攝像裝置130,包含形成密閉空間的框體131;空氣供給管164A及空氣排出管164B,與所述框體連接;供排氣裝置160,經由所述空氣供給管而朝所述框體內強制供給空氣,且經由所述空氣排出管而自所述框體內強制排出空氣;以及空氣冷卻裝置162,對在所述空氣供給管中流動的空氣進行冷卻;所述框體、所述空氣供給管及所述空氣排出管以形成一個密閉空間的方式連接。於所述框體內生成對所述第一散熱器1316進行冷卻的第一氣流與對所述第二散熱器1336進行冷卻的第二氣流。
