    摘要: In an X-ray computerized tomography scanner, a correction phantom embedding an X-ray absorbing object is put on or around a non-vertical rotary axis between an X-ray source and a two-dimensional X-ray detector, and two dimensional imaging data of the phantom is acquired. Then a locus of the X-ray absorbing material is determined in the two-dimensional imaging data, and based on the locus an ideal locus is obtained in the direction of the rotary axis. Next, a difference between the calculated position of the ideal locus and a measured position is determined in the direction of the rotary axis. The difference is used to correct deviation in the direction of the rotary axis.

    摘要: A CT scanning apparatus in accordance with the present invention comprises an image pickup system having an X-ray source being rotated around an object and a two-dimensional X-ray image pickup portion disposed opposite to the X-ray source with the object therebetween and being rotated, and is configured to rotate the image pickup system so as to radiograph three-dimensional areas inside the object, wherein a substance capable of being detected as an X-ray image is used as a position marker, and the position marker is disposed so as to be positioned in the image pickup view of the image pickup system during the rotation of the image pickup system and radiographed together with the object. In an ideal case, the image of the position marker in the two-dimensional X-ray image obtained as described above moves in a sine curve. Therefore, a correction amount for each X-ray image is calculated from the difference between the actual position in the X-ray image and the ideal position changing in the sine curve. By using the correction amount, the two-dimensional X-ray image is corrected, and a CT image is built. As a result, the effects of “moving artifact” and the like can be eliminated, and a clear image can be obtained.

    摘要: The present invention has an object of providing an X-ray CT imaging device which can direct X-ray to an area of interest appropriately even when, for example, the height of the area of interest with respect to the X-ray detector, which is revolving, varies with respect to the revolution direction, and thus can reduce the amount of unnecessary exposure to the X-ray and can perform X-ray imaging of the area of interest with certainty. In an X-ray CT imaging device for performing X-ray CT imaging of a CT imaging area of a subject, during the X-ray CT imaging when a revolving arm is revolving, the expansion in a length direction of an X-ray cone beam, which is to be restricted by length direction blocking plates, is adapted to the shape of the CT imaging area in accordance with the revolution position of the revolving arm.
