Abstract: To improve accuracy of diagnosis by making image restoration possible for obtaining high definition images in accordance with positions for examination. An image processing device includes: an image data input section for inputting image data obtained by using a detector to read a radiation ray applied from a radiation source and passed through a subject; a position input section for inputting a position for examination on the subject; a memory section for storing in advance image restoration parameters which correspond respectively to positions for examination on the subject; and a processing section for generating a restored image based on an image restoration parameter read from the memory section which corresponds to the position for examination on the subject that is input by the position input section and the image data that is input from the image data input section.

Abstract: There is described a radiological image capturing system, which makes it possible to obtain an accurate radiological image, irrespective of the position of the diagnosis object in the thickness direction of the subject. The system includes a radiographing apparatus that output radiological image data, based on the radial rays detected by the image detecting device, an image processing apparatus that applies a degraded image restoration processing to the radiological image data and a fixing member onto which the subject is fixed. The subject is positioned at such a position that a ratio of blurs between the first radiological image radiographed at a first position and the second radiological image radiographed at a second position, which is apart from the image detecting device by a distance farther than that of the first position, is reduced to a value to such an extent that a blur difference between them can be ignored.

Abstract: An image recording method includes: forming a latent image on a photothermographic imaging material by exposing a light beam from a light source thereto; and forming a visible image on the photothermographic imaging material on which the latent image is formed by thermally developing it. A wavelength characteristic of the light beam from the light source is selected on a basis of a spectral sensitivity characteristic of the photothermographic imaging material so that a first sensitivity variation of at least one of the thermally developed photothermographic imaging material and the exposed photothermographic imaging material which is before being thermally developed, the first sensitivity variation being caused by a temperature variation, and a second sensitivity variation of the photothermographic imaging material according to a wavelength variation of the light beam from the light source cause by the temperature variation are offset.

Abstract: An image forming method comprising the following steps, a step for imagewise exposing a recording material having an image forming layer to a laser beam light based on an image information and making at least a part of an exposed portion of said image forming layer removable, a step for forming an image by removing said image forming layer which is able to be removed, wherein radiation of said laser beam light corresponding to one dot in response to said image information makes a removable amount of said image forming layer variable.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus having a laser beam source which emits a laser beam, and an incident angle changing device for changing an incident angle, in a sub scanning direction of the laser beam emitted from the laser beam source, onto a light sensitive material. The incident angle changing device changes the incident angle of the laser beam emitted from the laser beam source on the light sensitive material from &thgr;1 to &thgr;2. The incident angle &thgr;1, an incident angle &thgr;1′ at which the laser beam is incident at the incident angle &thgr;1 on the light sensitive material, is incident in the light sensitive material. The incident angle &thgr;2, an incident angle &thgr;2′ at which the laser beam is incident at the incident angle &thgr;2 on the light sensitive material, is incident in the light sensitive material. One of integers N satisfies the following formula: (N+0.5−(0.7/&ggr;))<(2nh/&lgr;)(cos &thgr;1′−cos &thgr;2′)<(N+0.5+(0.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus wherein a plurality of laser beams are scanned on a color photosensitive material by an optical deflecting device, the laser beams are detected by beam detecting devices, and record starting timings for the laser beams are controlled on the basis of detection signals provided by the detecting devices so that respective record positions of the laser beams are the same.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus of the invention records an image on a recording medium by a scanning means which performs deflective scanning with light intensity-modulated in accordance with a recording signal. On-line image data is recorded by performing the deflective scanning a plurality of times. The recorded image has a larger number of gray levels than the number of modulation levels.
