Abstract:
A radiography apparatus sequentially determines, on the basis of the positions of markers as time-sequential feature points (of a plurality of frames), positions at which the markers in the frames are displayed. This makes it possible to display a moving object while the position, direction and size thereof are properly set. Another advantage is that when a plurality of markers are extracted, information relating to the direction and size of the object is retained and the proximal and distal directions of the object and the length of a device (e.g., stent) can be intuitively determined from an image. Since positioning is performed using the plurality of positions of markers and the plurality of display positions, the position and direction of a corrected image to be finally displayed can also be set properly.
