This X-ray exposure control device includes: an X-ray detection element (18) provided with a plurality of dose-detecting pixels (76) for detecting the dose in X-ray irradiation; a region-setting unit (86) for setting a usage pixel region comprising dose-detecting pixels (76) to be used, from among the plurality of dose-detecting pixels (76), in X-ray irradiation; a signal generation unit (90) for generating an X-ray irradiation stop signal in accordance with the detected dose of the dose-detecting pixels (76) in the set usage pixel region; and a transmission unit (94) for transmitting the X-ray irradiation stop signal to the X-ray source. The X-ray exposure control device makes it possible to acquire an appropriately dense X-ray image at all times in the same image-capturing environment even when capturing images of a variety of different sites. Provided are an X-ray image detection apparatus including the X-ray exposure control device, and an X-ray image capturing system including the X-ray image detection apparatus.
摘要:
Various apparatuses and methods for compensating for ghosting effects in thermal imaging devices are disclosed. Offsets in thermal image data due to ghosting effects on thermal sensors may be modeled, predicted, and/or eliminated by various embodiments of the present invention. These models may be time-varying to compensate for dynamic offset behavior, and may be based on formulas, lookup tables, or the like. Predicted offset amounts may be compensated for in various ways in order to produce more accurate thermal image data free from accumulated offset.
