  • Patent number: 11166694
    Abstract: A positioning support apparatus includes a hardware processor. The hardware processor obtains a radiographic image of a subject taken through a radiography. Based on the obtained radiographic image, the hardware processor detects a relative positional relationship between the subject and at least one of a radiation detector and a radiation source, the positional relationship being at a time when the radiographic image is taken. The hardware processor receives a change input for simulating a change of a position of the at least one of the radiation detector and the radiation source. Based on the detected positional relationship and the received change input, the hardware processor generates a simulation-reflected image that is an image of the subject reflecting the change of the position of the at least one of the radiation detector and the radiation source. The hardware processor outputs the generated simulation-reflected image.

  • Patent number: 11170483
    Abstract: A sample observation device images a sample placed on a movable table by irradiating and scanning the sample with a charged particle beam of a microscope. A degraded image having poor image quality and a high quality image having satisfactory image quality which are acquired at the same location of the sample by causing the charged particle microscope to change an imaging condition for imaging the sample are stored. An estimation process parameter is calculated for estimating the high quality image from the degraded image by using the stored degraded image and high quality image. A high quality image estimation unit processes the degraded image obtained by causing the charged particle microscope to image the desired site of the sample by using the calculated estimation process parameter. Thereby, the high quality image obtained at the desired site is estimated, and then the estimated high quality image is output.
