Abstract: An x-ray photographic apparatus for medical examination has a television camera for photographing x-ray images transmitted through an object under examination, an A/D converter for converting the output from the camera into digital form, a memory for storing the digitized data, a register connected to the memory, a television monitor that permits one to see through the object, and a cathode-ray tube connected to the register for producing light signals falling on photosensitive paper. Desired ones of the images displayed on the monitor can be copied onto the photosensitive paper.
