  • Patent number: 11786197
    Abstract: A CPU of a console comprises a color image acquisition unit, a distance image acquisition unit, a specification unit, and an estimation unit. The color image acquisition unit acquires a color image, in which a patient and a periphery of the patient are captured, from a visible light camera. The distance image acquisition unit acquires a distance image indicating a distance between a radiation tube and an object, from a TOF camera. The specification unit specifies a kind of the object in the color image. The estimation unit estimates intensity of radiation in an environment captured in the color image based on reference information including the distance image and a specification image as a specification result of the kind of the object.

  • Publication number: 20220375076
    Abstract: A console of a mobile radiography apparatus includes a CPU that acquires a fluoroscopic image captured by a radiation detector and a visible light image captured by a visible light camera as a moving image related to the capture of the fluoroscopic image of a subject by the mobile radiography apparatus. The CPU extracts a frame to be subjected to a support process, which is a diagnosis support process or an imaging support process, from the moving image. A GPU executes the support process for the extracted frame.
