  • Publication number: 20160235385
    Abstract: A radiographic image captured by irradiating a subject with radiation is acquired. A scattered radiation removal unit removes a scattered component from the radiographic image using at least imaging conditions. A correction information acquisition unit acquires correction information for correcting the degree of removal of the scattered component and changes the imaging conditions on the basis of the correction information. The scattered radiation removal unit performs a process of removing the scattered component from the radiographic image on the basis of the changed imaging conditions.

  • Publication number: 20160180523
    Abstract: The present invention is capable of reducing a load of a processing operation of a user. That is, a console acquires an original image acquired from a radiographic image capturing device. The console performs image analysis process A to generate a purpose A image and performs image analysis process B to generate a purpose B image. The console detects a processing operation performed on the purpose A image by the user and performs image processing to generate the purpose A image, and sets, as handover processing, a processing operation corresponding to a definition of predetermined handover conditions. The console reflects the handover processing in the purpose B image. Further, the console detects a processing operation performed on the purpose B image by the user and performs image processing to generate a purpose B image.

  • Publication number: 20160180524
    Abstract: The present invention is capable of reducing a load of a processing operation of a user. Namely, a console first acquires an original image of a radiographic image acquired from a radiographic image capturing device, in order to perform common processing operations. The console detects common processing operations performed on an original image by the user and stores processing content of the common processing operations and the original image in association with each other. In a case in which processing transitions to individual processing (purpose A) for generating a purpose A image, the console performs image analysis process A on the acquired original image and reflects the common processing to generate an image for purpose A. Further, the console detects individual processing operations performed on the image for purpose A by the user, and performs image processing corresponding to the individual processing operations to generate a purpose A image.
