摘要： In a radiation image processing apparatus, signal processing for determining the shape and location of an irradiation field, adjusting read-out conditions for a final readout from a preliminary read-out image signal, adjusting image processing conditions, and/or detecting an abnormal pattern is carried out on an image signal representing a radiation image by using a neural network. After the neural network, the learning operations of which have been carried out, is incorporated into the radiation image processing apparatus, modifying information is entered from an input device into the neural network. The modifying information is used to modify the signal processing carried out by the neural network and thereby to carry out re-learning operations of the neural network.

摘要： A first image signal representing a radiation image of an object is obtained by exposing a stimulable phosphor sheet, on which the radiation image has been stored, to stimulating rays, which cause the stimulable phosphor sheet to emit light in proportion to the amount of energy stored thereon during its exposure to radiation, the emitted light being detected. A second image signal representing the radiation image is thereafter obtained by again exposing the stimulable phosphor sheet to stimulating rays, the light emitted by the stimulable phosphor sheet being detected. Read-out conditions, under which the second image signal is to be obtained, and/or image processing conditions, under which the second image signal having been obtained is to be image processed, are adjusted on the basis of the first image signal. A storage device stores information representing a standard pattern of radiation images. A signal transforming device transforms the first image signal representing the radiation image into a transformed image signal representing the radiation image, which has been transformed into the standard pattern. A condition adjuster is provided with a neural network, which receives the transformed image signal and feeds out information representing the read-out conditions and/or the image processing conditions.

摘要： A method for recognizing the layout pattern of radiation images comprises the steps of preparing two-valued masks, each composed of a two-valued signal representing a layout pattern for radiation images which are to be stored on a stimulable phosphor sheet, and obtaining a preliminary read-out image signal by carrying out preliminary read out on a stimulable phosphor sheet on which radiation images have been stored. The layout pattern of the radiation images is recognized by converting the preliminary read-out image signal into a two-valued image signal, calculating rating values, which represent the degree of pattern matching between the two-valued image signal and the two-valued masks, finding the highest rating value that represents the highest degree of pattern matching among the rating values, and comparing the highest rating value with a predetermined value representing a predetermined degree of pattern matching.

摘要： A method for adjusting conditions comprises the steps of, when a radiation image of a specific object is recorded and read out, investigating whether recording and read-out operations were or were not carried out in the past for the same object as the specific object. When recording and read-out operations were carried out in the past for the same object as the specific object, image recording conditions for the specific object are adjusted such that they coincide with those under which the recording operation was carried out for the same object as the specific object. Also, instead of read-out conditions for a final readout, which is to be carried out for the specific object, being adjusted on the basis of a preliminary read-out image signal representing the radiation image of the specific object, the read-out conditions for the final readout to be carried out for the specific object are adjusted such that they coincide with those under which the final readout was carried out from the radiation image of the same object as the specific object. Recording and read-out operations for the specific object are carried out under the conditions, which have thus been adjusted.

摘要： When processing a radiation image, an image signal representing a radiation image and a prospective irradiation field information representing a prospective irradiation field of the radiation image are obtained in an image information obtaining section. The prospective irradiation field information is transferred to an image output section attached to the radiation image signal or separately therefrom. An image processing to make the image in the prospective irradiation field more suitable for viewing on the transferred image signal is carried out in the image output section on the basis of the transferred prospective irradiation field information, and a radiation image is output on the basis of the processed image signal.

摘要： A multiresolution coding section includes a wavelet transformation section for performing a wavelet transformation process on an image signal to obtain coefficient signals, a coefficient transformation section for performing a coefficient transformation process, which corresponds to image processing, on the coefficient signals to obtain processed coefficient signals, and a coding section for performing a coding process on the processed coefficient signals to obtain processed coded data. A restoration section includes a decoding section for decoding the processed coded data to obtain the processed coefficient signals, and an inverse wavelet transformation section for performing an inverse wavelet transformation process on the processed coefficient signals to obtain a processed image signal subjected to the image processing. In the process of transforming an image signal to coded data, image processing is performed in parallel with a coding process so that a processed image can be quickly displayed only by performing a restoration process.
