PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control panel preventing from prompting an operator to depress a switch in a state where it is not possible to exert a function, and a medical examination apparatus including the control panel.SOLUTION: The control panel for use in a medical examination apparatus including function parts for exerting a function, includes: switches aligned on a board corresponding to the function parts and depressingly operated for exerting a function by the function part a panel located on the upper side of the switches and an LED illuminating light to a position representation capable of specifying a position of a switch. When it is not possible to exert a function by a function part by depressing operation of the switch, the LED stops the illumination of the light to the position representation so as to lower the visibility of the position representation more than a case where it is possible to exert the function of the function part by the pressing operation of the switch.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
