The memory stores a plurality of medical images including temporally sequential images of a common portion of a same patient taken at different points of time. The image reader reads out the plurality of medical images from the memory. The image processor processes at least two of the plurality of medical images read out from the memory according to registration information of the at least two of the plurality of medical images so as to obtain a processed image. The image adder adds one of the plurality of medical images read out from the memory to the processed image so as to obtain an addition image. And the display displays the addition image.

Abstract: An irradiation field region extracting apparatus for extracting an irradiation field region from a given radiation image. According to a first embodiment, image data corresponding to the radiation image is rotationally moved around a predetermined rotational center of the image data, with the image data having rectangular coordinates set thereon. A boundary line is extracted between the irradiation field region, where the radiation image is exposed, and an irradiation field stop region, where no radiation image is exposed, according to the image data rotationally moved by the rotational movement means. A parallel condition of the boundary line is detected wherein the boundary line is parallel to an axis of the image data, and rotation information data is generated which indicate an angle of a rotational movement of the boundary line from an original location to a location of the parallel condition and a distance between the predetermined rotational center and a given point on the boundary line.

Abstract: A method and system for correcting a non-linear characteristic of an image, wherein an input image is digitized to produce digital image data representative of the image and a histogram of the digital image data is produced. At least a first pixel value characteristic of a variable under which the image was derived is extracted from the histogram. A plurality of non-linear correction curves relating original pixel values to corrected pixel values for different degrees of the variable are stored in a memory, and a particular one of the correction curves is selected based at least in part on the first extracted pixel value and a predetermined corrected pixel value. Corrected image data are then formed utilizing the selected correction curve by correcting each original pixel value of the image to a respective corrected pixel value based on the relationship therebetween defined by the selected correction curve, and a non-linearity corrected image is produced based on the corrected image data.
