Abstract: [Purpose] To provide a radiographic imaging apparatus capable of quickly acquiring three-dimensional image data of a target-of-interest when performing an operative procedure such as interventional treatment [Solving Means] A region-of-interest extraction unit 39 extracts a predetermined region as a region-of-interest from each of a series of two-dimensional images. The reconstruction unit 41 reconstructs a three-dimensional image of a region including a stent based on each of the images of the portion corresponding to the region-of-interest. That is, since the reconstruction unit 41 reconstructs each of a series of two-dimensional images P using an image of the region-of-interest corresponding to a part of the whole, the time required to reconstruct the three-dimensional image of the region including the stent can be shortened.

Abstract: A radiography apparatus sequentially determines, on the basis of the positions of markers as time-sequential feature points (of a plurality of frames), positions at which the markers in the frames are displayed. This makes it possible to display a moving object while the position, direction and size thereof are properly set. Another advantage is that when a plurality of markers are extracted, information relating to the direction and size of the object is retained and the proximal and distal directions of the object and the length of a device (e.g., stent) can be intuitively determined from an image. Since positioning is performed using the plurality of positions of markers and the plurality of display positions, the position and direction of a corrected image to be finally displayed can also be set properly.
