Abstract: A medical equipment table having a placement surface on which a subject is placed. The medical equipment table is equipped with door structures provided at side faces extending along a longitudinal direction of the medical equipment table. Each of the door structures has a door section, a horizontal axis rotation lock mechanism enabling horizontal axis rotation with one end in a vertical direction of the door section being taken as a support axis, and locks at a plurality of horizontal axis rotating positions, and a vertical axis rotation lock mechanism enabling vertical axis rotation with one end in a horizontal direction of the door section being taken as a support axis, and locks at a plurality of vertical axis rotating positions.

Abstract: A therapeutic imaging system includes a first therapeutic/imaging apparatus for performing at least one of therapy and imaging, a second therapeutic/imaging apparatus for use in combination with the first therapeutic/imaging apparatus for performing at least one of therapy and imaging, a first carriage device for laving thereon a subject, for use in combination with at least one of the first and second therapeutic/imaging apparatuses, a second carriage device for laying thereon a subject, for use in combination with the second therapeutic/imaging apparatus, spaced apart from the first carriage device at a certain distance, and a moving device disposed between the first and second carriage devices, wherein the first and second carriage devices are concatenately disposed, and the moving device moves the second therapeutic/imaging apparatus on a straight line connecting the first and second carriage devices.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling pixel values in a region outside a desired region in a captured X-ray fluoroscopic image, a region whose pixel values are to be changed is defined in a fluoroscopic image received from an angiography apparatus, and the amount of change for the pixel values in the defined region is set. The pixel values in the defined region in the fluoroscopic image are then changed based on the set amount of change.
