  • Patent number: 11653888
    Abstract: This radiographic imaging apparatus (100) is provided with a control unit (5) configured to associate a projection image (70) in which at least a part of a post-removal projection image (70a) in which a contrast agent image (Ba) has been removed and at least a part of a fluoroscopic image (20) are most similar.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 3, 2017
    Date of Patent: May 23, 2023
    Assignee: Shimadzu Corporation
    Inventors: Wataru Takahashi, Hidetaka Takezawa, Michel Dargis
  • Publication number: 20220273251
    Abstract: The X-ray imaging apparatus (100) is provided with an imaging unit (2), a moving mechanism (4), and an image processing unit (17) for generating a subject image (42). The image processing unit is configured to set a reference plane (34) that is an imaging region when generating a subject image and generate the subject image on the reference plane. In a case where there is a plurality of X-ray images in which pixel corresponding points are reflected, the image processing unit is configured to select the pixels corresponding to the pixel corresponding points in the X-ray image in which the pixel corresponding points are reflected to determine pixel values of the pixel corresponding points.

  • Patent number: 11109827
    Abstract: An X-ray imaging apparatus includes a table, an imager configured to capture a plurality of X-ray images, a rotating mechanism, a moving mechanism, and an image processor. The image processor is configured to generate a long image by performing processing of varying magnifications of the plurality of X-ray images based on an amount of relative movement of the table and the imager and splicing the plurality of X-ray images when imaging is performed at a plurality of imaging positions in a state in which an optical axis of X-rays radiated from an X-ray irradiator is inclined with respect to the table.
