  • Patent number: 11808717
    Abstract: An X-ray tube billing system for a fluoroscopic apparatus for non-destructive inspection configured to perform X-ray fluoroscopy on a subject using an X-ray tube includes a fluoroscopy time detector configured to detect a length of time during which the X-ray fluoroscopy has been performed using the X-ray tube, and a billing amount calculator configured to calculate a billing amount related to use of the X-ray tube based on the length of time during which the X-ray fluoroscopy has been performed, which is detected by the fluoroscopy time detector.

  • Publication number: 20220175337
    Abstract: In order to sufficiently capture spatial distortion specific to an X-ray CT device and evaluate the three-dimensional shape measurement accuracy of the X-ray CT device, in a utensil, by attaching support rods fixing spheres to the tip thereof and having different lengths to a base spheres are arranged in an XYZ space on the base. On a flat surface on the top of the base, the support rods supporting the spheres and having different lengths are arranged at predetermined intervals. In doing so, the spheres are arranged in the XYZ space respectively at appropriate inter-sphere distances.

  • Patent number: 6577701
    Abstract: An X-ray tube (X-ray focus) and an X-ray detector opposed to each other across an object synchronously scan the object to acquire radiographic data in each scan position. A section reconstruction method is provided in which the radiographic data or data resulting from a filtering process of the radiographic data is projected as back projection data back to a two-dimensional or three-dimensional reconstruction area virtually set to a region of interest of the object. Enlarged interpolation data is generated by interpolating the back projection data and then the enlarged interpolation data is projected back to the reconstruction area without interpolation. The number of interpolation computations is reduced to an amount corresponding to the enlargement by interpolation of the back projection data, to shorten the reconstruction computation time.
