摘要:
When radiography is performed on a patient at a radiography apparatus, first, a past collected radiation dose for the patient and a past collected radiation dose for a region of the patient on which radiography will be performed are extracted from a database.Judgment is made as to whether the collected radiation doses are greater than or equal to respective set threshold values. If it is judged that at least one of the collected radiation doses is greater than or equal to the set threshold values, the radiography apparatus outputs an alert for a radiographer. If it is judged that the collected radiation doses are less than or equal to the set threshold values, radiography is started by the radiography apparatus.

A high quality stereo image is displayed by a radiation imaging apparatus that obtains an image for two dimensional observation and two images for stereo display while using a grid. An input section 7 receives input of a user's dominant eye. Radiation image data obtained by imaging with an imaging angle of 0° is employed for an image for the dominant eye during stereo image display, and radiation image data corresponding to the eye opposite the user's dominant eye, from between radiation image data obtained by imaging with an imaging angle of +4° or +4°, are employed for an image for the other eye, to display a stereo image of a breast on a monitor 9.
摘要:
In a mammography system including a face guard, it is possible to prevent a human subject whose head is in close contact with the face guard from losing her posture and being in an unstable state. In a mammography system which includes a shield member for preventing radiation from being irradiated onto the face of the human subject, a radiation source which irradiates radiation is moved, such that, when radiation in two radiographing directions is irradiated from two focal positions distant from the chest wall of the human subject in a forward direction, the shield member is configured to be fixed at a predetermined position in the forward direction without being interlocking with the movement of the radiation source.

A first leakage current value output from each signal line is stored in a storage unit, with a charge corresponding to an emitted radiation being held in a radiographic image detector, when the radiation is uniformly emitted to the radiographic image detector. A second leakage current value is acquired which is output from each signal line, with a charge corresponding to the radiation dose being held in the radiographic image detector, when the radiation passing through an object is emitted to the radiographic image detector. When the first and second leakage current values are equal to each other for each line corresponding to each signal line, all pixels on the line are determined to belong to a background area (lines A and C). When the second leakage current value is smaller than the first leakage current value and larger than a predetermined value, it is determined that there are the object areas and the background areas on the line (lines B, D, and E), and the total number of pixels in the background area on the line is calculated from the ratio of the first leakage current value to the second leakage current value. In this way, the distribution of the object area and the background area in the image which is held in the radiographic image detector when the radiation passing through the object is emitted is estimated before the reading of the image from the radiographic image detector is completed.

An imaging system comprises: an imaging unit for producing an image within a given field of view; an image defect detector for detecting a defective area from a first image that is produced by the imaging unit without a subject in the given field of view; a size enlarging unit for forming a deemed defective area having an enlarged size consisting of pixels of the first image corresponding to a defective area detected by the image defect detector and at least one of pixels adjacent to these pixels; and an image defect correcting unit for correcting a second image produced by the imaging unit with a subject located within the given view of field according to a deemed defective area formed by the size enlarging unit.

摘要:
Offset correction based on offset correction data is performed on radiographic image data that have been read out from a radiation image detector, and the offset correction data are updated. In the offset correction method, correction data for low-frequency components and correction data for high-frequency components, as the offset correction data, are generated based on offset image data that have been read out from the radiation image detector while the radiation image detector is not irradiated with radiation. Further, the correction data for low-frequency components and the correction data for high-frequency components are separately updated.

Correction is performed on the pixel values of a plurality of defective pixels forming a defective area of an image representing a subject image. The defective area is an area corresponding to a defective portion of a detector. A plurality of weighted normal pixel values are obtained by weighting the pixel value of each of normal pixels adjacent to the periphery of the defective area for each pair of a correction-target defective pixel and each of the normal pixels using a weighting coefficient. The weighting coefficient becomes smaller as a distance between the defective pixel and the normal pixel becomes longer. Then, an average value of the plurality of weighted normal pixel values is calculated, and the pixel value of the correction-target defective pixel is corrected using the calculated average value. This process is performed on each of the defective pixels.

The radiographic image conversion panel includes a recording layer formed of a first accumulative phosphor that is irradiated with a radiation as a first primarily exciting light beam to excite primarily and accumulate energy, and is irradiated with a first secondarily exciting light beam to excite secondarily and generate a stimulating light beam and a correction marker for detecting a position formed of a second accumulative phosphor that is irradiated with a second primarily exciting light beam to excite primarily and accumulate the energy, and is irradiated with a second secondarily exciting light beam to excite secondarily and generate light with a wavelength shorter than a wavelength of the first secondarily exciting light beam. The radiographic image acquisition system uses the radiographic image conversion panel.
