摘要:
A subtraction image is obtained, by a subtraction process (DSA process), from a live image and a mask image. A lag-behind part included in each X-ray detection signal is considered due to an impulse response formed of exponential functions. The lag-behind part is removed from each X-ray detection signal by a recursive computation to obtain a corrected X-ray detection signal. The live image and mask image are obtained from such corrected detection signals.

A radiographic apparatus removes lag-behind parts from radiation detection signals taken from an FPD as X rays are emitted from an X-ray tube, on an assumption that the lag-behind part included in each X-ray detection signal is due to an impulse response formed of a plurality of exponential functions with different attenuation time constants. The lag-behind parts are removed by using impulse responses of the FPD corresponding, for example, to an X-ray dose used in a fluoroscopic image pickup and an X-ray dose used in a radiographic image pickup. X-ray images are created from corrected radiation detection signals with the lag-behind parts removed therefrom.

In the radiographic apparatus according to this invention, when a radiographic mode designator 16 designates a non-standard radiographic mode, a signal corrector 15 uses defect information stored in one of non-standard image defect information memories 18B-18E for correcting X-ray detection signals outputted from an FPD 2. Since the pixel defect information for non-standard X-ray images is acquired by a pixel defect information converter 19 through a conversion from defect information for standard X-ray images stored in a standard image defect information memory 18A, it is unnecessary to collect output signals for pixel defect information acquisition from the FPD 2 all over again. As a result, abnormal X-ray detection signals due to defects of radiation detecting elements may be corrected promptly, regardless of how the radiation detecting elements are assigned to the pixels in the X-ray images.

When a single attenuation time constant and intensity are provisionally set, checking is made whether an attenuation to a noise level of X-ray detection signals occurs in an X-ray non-emission state following an X-ray emission state. When the set attenuation time constant and intensity are found appropriate (OK), the impulse response having the single exponential function is determined valid. Corrected radiation detection signals are obtained by removing the lag-behind parts using the impulse response determined.

A radiographic apparatus obtains lag-free radiation detection signals with lag-behind parts removed from radiation detection signals taken from a flat panel X-ray detector as X rays are emitted from an X-ray tube. The lag-behind parts are removed by a recursive computation on an assumption that the lag-behind part included in each X-ray detection signal is due to an impulse response formed of exponential functions, N in number, with different attenuation time constants. X-ray images are created from the lag-free radiation detection signals.

The lag-behind parts are removed by using impulse responses corresponding to variations in the sensor temperature of the FPD.

When performing a lag correction of a lag-behind part by eliminating the lag-behind part from an X-ray detection signal obtained, a plurality of X-ray detection signals in time of non-irradiation before X-ray irradiation in an imaging event, and a lag image based on the X-ray detection signals acquired. The lag correction performed by subtracting the lag image acquired from the X-ray detection signal. Thus, the lag-behind part is eliminated from the X-ray detection signal in a simple way.
摘要:
A radiographic apparatus according to this invention, when a predetermined operation relating to radiographic imaging is interposed during an emission of radiation, stops the emission temporarily, and also stops a recursive computation temporarily. With start of the predetermined operation, the emission is started again and also the recursive computation is started again. Radiation detection signals at the time of non-emission due to the temporary stop are acquired, and the recursive computation is carried out based on initial values derived from the radiation detection signals at the time of non-emission. The lag-behind parts are removed from the radiation detection signals with increased accuracy while reducing the trouble of radiographic images caused by the predetermined operation relating to radiographic imaging being interposed during an emission of radiation.
