  • Medical image diagnostic apparatus
    Patent number: 9833210
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a medical image diagnostic apparatus includes an X-ray tube, X-ray detector, image generation circuitry, display, and correction circuitry. The X-ray tube generates X-rays to an object. The X-ray detector detects the X-rays. The image generation circuitry generate an X-ray image based on the detected X-rays. The display displays an incident dose of the X-rays on the object, on an object image indicating the object. The correction circuitry correct a relative positional relationship between the object image and a display area of the incident dose on the object image based on the X-ray image.
    Type: Grant

  • X-ray diagnostic apparatus and medical image processing method
    Patent number: 9613438
    Abstract: An X ray diagnostic apparatus includes an X ray tube generating X rays, a first detector detecting the X rays, at least one second detector arranged in front of a first detection surface of the first detector and including a second detection surface narrower than the first detection surface and indicator points provided on a rear surface of the second detection surface, a projection data generation unit generating first projection data based on an output from the first detector, and a positional shift detection unit detecting a positional shift of the second detector relative to the first detector in accordance with an imaging direction by using the first projection data and a predetermined positional relationship between the points and detection elements in the second detector.
