Abstract: The test device is configured of a device main body and a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal functions as an operation terminal of the device main body, and a browsing terminal for measurement data. The mobile terminal is connected to the device main body through wireless communication. The device main body wirelessly transmits the measurement data to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal notifies the device main body of the reception data size of the measurement data. In the device main body, a determining unit collates the reception data size with the transmission data size of the measurement data and determines whether or not the measurement data is normally transmitted. A notifying unit notifies the mobile terminal of a transmission result showing that non-transmitted data is present.

Based on the right-eye and left-eye images generated in the manner described above, displaying a stereoscopic image on a monitor.

Abstract: Radiographic images for different imaging directions taken by applying radiation to a subject from the different imaging directions are obtained, and a plurality of first tomographic images having a first slice thickness are generated based on the obtained plurality of radiographic images and a plurality of second tomographic images having a second slice thickness that is greater than the first slice thickness are generated based on the radiographic images. Then, MinIP processing is applied to the first tomographic images to generate a MinIP image, and MIP processing is applied to the second tomographic images to generate a MIP image. Then, combining processing is performed using the MinIP image and the MIP image to generate a composite image.

Then, compression processing in the direction perpendicular to slice planes of the generated tomographic images is applied to the tomographic images to generate compressed tomographic images, wherein a range of the imaging directions is obtained, and a compression rate of the compression processing is set based on the obtained range of the imaging directions.

Abstract: Two radiation images are acquired by emitting radiation to a subject from two imaging directions that form a first imaging angle, and two radiation images are acquired imaged from two imaging directions that form a second imaging angle. The radiation images of the first imaging angle are displayed as two-dimensional images while the radiation images of the second imaging angle are displayed as a stereoscopic image. Designation of a predetermined position in the radiation images that are displayed as two-dimensional images is received to obtain position information. The obtained position information in the radiation images of the first imaging angle is projected onto the radiation images of the second imaging angle based on the position information and three-dimensional position information is obtained. Based on the three-dimension position information, markers are displayed on the radiation images of the second imaging angle which are displayed as a stereoscopic image.

Abstract: With respect to two images of an image for a right eye and an image for a left eye constituting a stereoscopic image, and which have been obtained at a mammography apparatus, a computer sets one of the two images, as a main image, and the remaining image as a sub-image. Further, a password releasable exclusively by an image reproducing terminal that copes with reproduction of a stereoscopic image file is set for the sub-image, and the two images are stored in a stereoscopic image file.

Abstract: A high quality stereo image is displayed by a radiation imaging apparatus that obtains an image for two dimensional observation and two images for stereo display while using a grid. An input section 7 receives input of a user's dominant eye. Radiation image data obtained by imaging with an imaging angle of 0° is employed for an image for the dominant eye during stereo image display, and radiation image data corresponding to the eye opposite the user's dominant eye, from between radiation image data obtained by imaging with an imaging angle of +4° or +4°, are employed for an image for the other eye, to display a stereo image of a breast on a monitor 9.
