Abstract: The invention facilitates a setting operation relating to the displaying and laying out of images and arranges it so that the layout will reflect the preferences of the observer. The invention provides a medical image display apparatus for displaying medial images and other medical data on a display unit. An image storage unit for storing medical images and a processor are connected to the display unit. A frequency-of-use storage unit and a mode storage unit are connected to the processor. When medical images have been displayed, the frequency-of-use storage unit stores the frequency of use of the layout type. The apparatus sets a display format of the medical images automatically based upon the frequency of use of this layout type. There is a good possibility that a layout type having a high frequency of use will reflect the preference of the reader (observer).

Abstract: In an image collecting system for sensing an X-ray image by using a solid state image pickup unit, the operability of the system is improved by omitting an operation of turning on and off the solid state image pickup unit or other operations. When an operator selects an image sensing part of an object by using an acquisition part setting button on a display unit, the solid state image pickup unit is driven and a timer starts, and in addition, the sensing condition, image processing parameters and the like are automatically set in accordance with the selected sensing part. When an exposure button is depressed before the timer counts up, e.g., in 10 minutes, an X-ray generation control unit makes an X-ray tube radiate an X-ray to the object, and the solid state image pickup unit senses an X-ray image. If the exposure button is not depressed in 10 minutes, the operation of the solid state image pickup unit is stopped and the set sensing part is released.

Abstract: Plural images photographed with an X-ray photographing system are consecutively input and plural photographing images of optional sizes are arranged in an output area. When the plural photographing images can not be arranged in the output area as a result of the arrangement, marginal portions of the photographing images are deleted on the basis of widths of photographing image arranging areas or a width of a runover image and the images are arranged once again. On the basis of a final arrangement result, the images are output to a laser imager or the like for printout on a film or the like.

Abstract: After gain correction acquisition images are collected, an image reading apparatus calculates any deviation between the grid direction and the pixel line-up direction of a solid-state imaging element (12) in the rotation direction in the grid direction calculation process, and the deviation of a grid (11) in the rotation direction is corrected by accurately aligning the grid direction in the gain correction acquisition image to have a given relationship with respect to the pixel line-up direction, thus photographing an image in practice.

Abstract: All or necessary minimum objects are copied in an image drawing apparatus and sent to a print queue. The objects are deleted in response to a deletion command from a higher level apparatus, whereas the copied objects are deleted after a print operation. Alternatively, the objects are deleted after the print operation in response to a deletion command entered from the higher level apparatus and temporarily held. In this manner, a deletion command from the higher level apparatus is not rejected and the higher level apparatus can be released as soon as possible.
