摘要： An abnormal pattern detecting apparatus comprises a device for finding prospective abnormal patterns in a radiation image of an object from an image signal representing the radiation image, and a device for finding anatomical information about the object from the image signal. From the image signal components of the image signal, which represent the image information at positions in the vicinity of each prospective abnormal pattern, a characteristic measure calculating device calculates a plurality of characteristic measures for each prospective abnormal pattern. An abnormal pattern finding device utilizes the characteristic measures and the anatomical information in order to find a true abnormal pattern from the prospective abnormal patterns.

摘要： At least two stimulable phosphor sheets are exposed to at least two kinds of radiation, which have different energy distributions, without an object intervening between the stimulable phosphor sheets and a source of the radiation. The stimulable phosphor sheets are then exposed to stimulating rays, which cause them to emit light in proportion to the amount of energy stored thereon during their exposure to the radiation. The light emitted is photoelectrically detected, and digital image signals are thereby obtained, which are to be used for compensating for nonuniformity in how the radiation is irradiated to the stimulable phosphor sheets. Digital image signals representing radiation images of an object stored with at least two kinds of radiation and the corresponding digital image signals for the compensation are then subtracted from each other, and digital image signals are obtained which are free of noise due to nonuniformity in how at least two kinds of radiation are irradiated to the stimulable phosphor sheets. The digital image signals, which are free of noise, are then subtracted from each other, and a difference signal is thereby obtained which represents the image of only the bones represented by the radiation images. Bone calcium in the bones is quantitatively analyzed by utilizing the difference signal.

摘要： A stimulable phosphor sheet, on which a radiation image of an object has been stored, is exposed 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 is detected by a photoelectric read-out device, and an image signal representing the radiation image is thereby obtained. Threshold value processing is carried out in accordance with the obtained image signal, and a prospective abnormal pattern is thereby detected from the radiation image. A predetermined threshold value, which is used in the threshold value processing for detecting the prospective abnormal pattern, is set to be a small value as the amount of change in the image signal corresponding to the region in the vicinity of the prospective abnormal pattern becomes large.

Light detection ranges of the light detection device suitable for image recording conditions are stored in conformity with the respective image recording conditions in a memory. In the course of detection of the light emitted by the stimulable phosphor sheet, the image recording conditions with respect to the stimulable phosphor sheet on which image read-out is to be carried out are designated, the light detection range corresponding to the designated image recording conditions is read from the memory, and is set in the light detection device. Preliminary read-out is not used.
