Patent number: 9025726Abstract: A radiation imaging apparatus includes a differential phase image producing section, a phase unwrapping section, a statistical operation section, and a correction processing section. The differential phase image producing section produces a differential phase image in which pixel values are wrapped into a predetermined range ?. The phase unwrapping section performs a phase unwrapping process to the differential phase image. The statistical operation section obtains a mode from statistical operation of pixel values in each subregion segmented in the unwrapped differential phase image. Each subregion is a unit in which error caused by the phase unwrapping process is to be corrected. The correction processing section calculates, for each pixel, an integer “n” which allows a difference ? between the mode and a pixel value of each pixel to satisfy n???/2??<n?+?/2, and subtracts n·? from each pixel value.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2012Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventor: Hiroyasu Ishii
