  • Patent number: 8867699
    Abstract: A radiographic device includes grid frequency component eliminating processing means for eliminating a grid frequency component from an original image detected by a radiation detecting device; wherein said means includes a BPF and an HPF for producing a band-pass grid image and a high-pass grid image from an original image through band-pass and high-pass extraction; a subtracting device for taking the difference between these two grid images; an LPF for producing a difference grid image comprising the grid frequency components not completely extracted by the band-pass, through performing a low-pass processed on the difference image in a direction that is parallel to the grid pattern; an adding device for producing a band-pass+difference grid image by adding the difference grid image to the band-pass grid image; and a subtracting device for subtracting the band-pass+difference grid image from the original image.

  • Patent number: 8538118
    Abstract: Provided is a method of removing a moiré in a fluoroscopic X-ray image that preliminarily complements a defective pixel with no disturbance in regularity of a moiré pattern to ensure that no trace of the defective pixel and no ghost thereof create even when the fluoroscopic X-ray image contains the defective pixel. A moiré frequency derivation section determines frequency of the moiré that appears in the fluoroscopic X-ray image, a defective pixel preliminary complement section forms a preliminary complement image, a moiré removal section conducts frequency analysis of the preliminary complement image to form a moiré removed image, an image smoothing section performs an image smoothing process to the preliminary complement image to form a smoothed image suitable for complement of the defective pixel, and a first defective pixel recomplement section recomplements the defective pixel by superimposing the moiré removed image on the smoothed image.

  • Patent number: 7940887
    Abstract: An X-ray tube and a flat panel X-ray detector (FPD) are constructed movable parallel to each other in the same direction along a body axis which is a longitudinal direction of a patient. The X-ray tube intermittently emits radiation and the FPD detects radiation transmitted through the patient irradiated intermittently whenever the X-ray tube and FPD move every pitch. X-ray images O1, O2, . . . , OI, . . . , and OM are decomposed for every pitch noted above. The decomposed images are composed for each projection angle to obtain projection images P1, P2 and so on. Therefore, a sectional image with a long field of view in the longitudinal direction can be obtained by carrying out a reconstruction process based on the composed projection images.
