  • Patent number: 7436929
    Abstract: A radiographic system is provided, which is capable of displaying brightness of laterally corresponding points with equivalent brightness, when an object having equivalent texture structures or micro areas of equivalent X-ray transmittance at laterally symmetric positions. The radiographic system includes an exposure time deriving section that obtains a period during which the object has been exposed to X-rays in a process of generating each charge signal output from an X-ray image detecting section based on vertical transfer information held at the vertical transfer information holding section, a correction coefficient deriving section that obtains a correction coefficient for correcting the value of an image signal obtained by being converted from each charge signal, based on the exposure time, and an image generating section that generates an image signal from the charge signal output from the X-ray image detecting section and the correction coefficient.

  • Patent number: 6748049
    Abstract: X-ray camera of the present invention comprises an X-ray irradiation unit, an X-ray image sensor, a controller having a correction factor setting unit, a correction factor storage unit and a correctional operation unit, and a display unit. The X-ray image sensor in the above configuration comprises a sensor such as CCD, TFT, and the like having a scintillator on a surface thereof, and a substrate having the sensor mounted thereon. The correction factor setting unit obtains a value La/Ln by dividing a predetermined brightness reference value La set beforehand by a brightness value Ln of an arbitrary pixel “n”, and sets the obtained value as a correction factor for each pixel. The correction factor storage unit stores the correction factor set by the correction factor setting unit. The correctional operation unit obtains the correction factor from the correction factor storage unit, and performs a corrective operation.

  • Patent number: 6559575
    Abstract: A cathode ray tube and a color selecting member, which can be manufactured without defects by using an existing projection aligner of a simple structure and can always produce a picture of high quality, in which phosphor layer has a pattern in stripes in the lateral direction of a screen, or in the horizontal direction and a color selecting member has slits elongated in the longitudinal direction of the screen, or in the horizontal scan line direction. Even in case of the thermal expansion of the color selecting member or a considerable longitudinal deviation between the exposure position at the time of manufacture and the position where an electron beam strikes in actual use, an electron beam can freely pass through the slits. Therefore, the accuracy of irradiation of the phosphor layer with the electron beam is not adversely influenced.
