  • Patent number: 8454235
    Abstract: A radiographic imaging system includes an imaging apparatus which takes a radiographic image of a subject and outputs image data of the radiographic image; an image processing apparatus which performs image processing of at least one of an exposure field recognition process and a trimming process on the image data of the radiographic image; an image processing information storage apparatus which stores the imaging conditions of the radiographic image and image processing information which indicates the image processing and its applicable range in an associated manner; and an image processing information search apparatus which searches for image processing information according to imaging conditions of current imaging, among the image processing information of past imaging stored.

  • Publication number: 20120249534
    Abstract: A stereoscopic display apparatus that performs a stereoscopic display using a right-eye image and a left-eye image acquired by radiographing a subject plural times while changing an incidence angle of radiation on the subject, includes a display unit that stereoscopically displays the right-eye image and the left-eye image, and a changing unit that shifts at least one of the right-eye image and the left-eye image displayed on the display unit to change an inter-image distance being a distance between the right-eye image and the left-eye image in a direction parallel to a straight line connecting the right eye and the left eye of an observer.

  • Publication number: 20120249533
    Abstract: A stereoscopic display apparatus that can perform a stereoscopic display using a right-eye image and a left-eye image acquired through radiography, includes an image display unit that can display a planar image of at least one of the right-eye image and the left-eye image as a planar display along with the stereoscopic display, a display selecting unit that selects any one of the stereoscopic display and the planar display, and a position pointing unit that can be operated in the selected stereoscopic display or planar display and that can be operated to interlock in the stereoscopic display and the planar display, wherein the position pointing unit includes a depth changing unit that changes the depth thereof in the stereoscopic display.

  • Patent number: 8238633
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus capable of clipping a diagnostic region while retaining the pixel information of the original radiographic image even when the subject is imaged aslant. The image processing apparatus applies trimming processing to a radiographic image acquired by an imaging apparatus for acquiring a radiographic image of a subject and includes an image rotation unit for rotating the radiographic image so that the subject is aligned with a given direction to produce a display image, a diagnostic region designation unit for designating a first diagnostic region clipped with a diagnostic region designation frame represented by a rectangle for the display image, and a trimming processing unit for calculating a second diagnostic region in the radiographic image from a rotation amount of the display image and diagnostic region information representing the first diagnostic region and applying trimming processing to the radiographic image to clip the second diagnostic region.

  • Publication number: 20120076275
    Abstract: A radiographic imaging apparatus with which the rotation amount of acquired radiographs can be the same in comparative interpretation of these images. The radiographic imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit for emitting radiation from a radiation source to a subject and detecting radiation having passed through the subject with a radiation detector having sensors arrayed therein to acquire a radiographic image, an image processor for performing rotation processing on the radiographic image to produce an acquired radiograph and collateral information of the acquired radiograph, a storage unit for storing the acquired radiograph and the collateral information, and a monitor for displaying the acquired radiograph. The collateral information contains the direction in which the sensors are arrayed and a rotation angle used in the rotation processing and is correlated to the acquired radiograph.
