Abstract:
Targeting of a lesion which is performed by a stereoscopic biopsy device or the like is performed simply and highly accurately. Designation of a predetermined position in the stereoscopic image is received to acquire position information when a stereoscopic image is displayed, radiological images of radiographing directions are displayed as two-dimensional images, a mark based on the position information, which is designated in the stereoscopic image, is displayed in the two-dimensional images, designation of a predetermined position in the two-dimensional images is further received to acquire the position information after the mark is displayed.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a radiation imaging system, an image processing device, a radiation imaging method, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having an image processing program recorded thereon which facilitate the confirmation of a positional relationship between an object of interest and a biopsy needle. In the system using a radiation imaging device as a mammography device, when performing a biopsy of a breast of a subject, the positional relationship is confirmed using a radiation image (projection image) obtained through tomosynthesis imaging. A control unit reconstructs the projection image to generate a tomographic image in a state where the needle is inserted into the breast and generates a reprojection image at a predetermined angle from the tomographic image. The control unit extracts an image of the needle from the projection image, synthesizes the extracted image of the needle into the projection image while aligning, and displays the projection image.
Abstract:
A radiography system includes a radiography apparatus, a distance measurement device, and a processor. The processor generates subject posture information indicating a posture of a subject based on distance measurement information generated by the distance measurement device, generates positional relationship estimation information indicating a position, a posture, and/or an orientation of the subject with respect to the radiography apparatus by using the subject posture information and apparatus posture information indicating a posture of the radiography apparatus, and performs notification control of giving notification about capturing of the radiation image and/or imaging apparatus control with respect to the radiography apparatus based on the positional relationship estimation information.
Abstract:
A control device includes a processor that controls a mammography apparatus that irradiates a breast with radiation to capture a radiographic image of the breast such that the radiation with either first energy or second energy higher than the first energy is emitted at each of irradiation positions having different irradiation angles while a radiation source is being moved to capture low-energy projection images with the first energy and high-energy projection images with the second energy, an irradiation time for which the radiation with the second energy is emitted is longer than an irradiation time for which the radiation with the first energy is emitted, and a focus size of the radiation source in a case in which the radiation with the first energy is emitted is larger than a focus size of the radiation source in a case in which the radiation with the second energy is emitted.
Abstract:
A compression plate of a mammography apparatus has an upper surface which is irradiated with radiation, a lower surface which is opposite to the upper surface and comes into contact with the breast, and a surface which is parallel to the upper surface between the upper surface and the lower surface. In the compression plate, a compression plate scale for identifying an in-plane position of each surface is given to any one of the surfaces. A first display control unit of a console performs control to display a radiographic image captured by the mammography apparatus on a display unit. A second display control unit of the console performs control to display an image scale which indicates a position on the radiographic image corresponding to the in-plane position of the compression plate on the radiographic image displayed on the display unit.
Abstract:
An image acquisition unit acquires a plurality of projection images corresponding to each of a plurality of radiation source positions which have been generated by directing an imaging apparatus to perform tomosynthesis imaging for an object compressed by a compression plate. An edge image detection unit detects an edge image caused by the edge of the compression plate in the plurality of projection images. A cutout unit cuts out the projection image according to a positional relationship between the edge image and an image of the object to generate a cut-out projection image.
