    摘要: Pixel data in a region of a flat panel detector is obtained and displayed. For example, pixel data in a region irradiated with X-ray is obtained and displayed. The region to be irradiated with-the X-ray is estimated according to a degree of opening of an X-ray beam limiting device and a distance between the X-ray beam limiting device and the flat panel detector. Further, it can be determined from pixel data value of the flat panel detector also. A region of a patient can be also determined from the pixel data. Thus, an image corresponding to the entire flat panel detector, an image corresponding to an X-ray irradiation region and an image corresponding to a patient region can be displayed. A resolution for obtaining the pixel data is changed corresponding to the size of a region in the flat panel detector whose pixel data should be obtained and a processing resolution of an image processing means at post step. Particularly in an X-ray diagnostic apparatus of bi-plane structure, an observation region can be traced flexibly.

    摘要: An X-ray radiographic apparatus including a solid-state image sensor having a photoelectric conversion member and a transfer member. A system controller stops supplying field shift pulses, and a electric charge is not transferred from the photoelectric conversion member to the transfer member, during X-ray irradiation until a quantity of X-rays reaches predetermined value. One frame image data from the solid-state image sensor just after X-ray irradiating term is obtained. It is easy to obtain data corresponding to one frame image which is of proper density. The electric signal is read from the transfer member while the system controller has stopped the supplying of field shift pulses. It is possible to suppress an increase of dark current noise, and obtain high quality X-ray image data.

    摘要: An X-ray diagnostic apparatus has two modes, i.e., a fluoroscopy mode for displaying an X-ray fluoroscopic image, and a radiography mode which is selected in response to a radiography instruction in the fluoroscopy mode, for recording an X-ray radiographic image. X-ray fluoroscopic image data obtained by an X-ray image detector in the fluoroscopy mode is converted to a digital image signal by an A/D converter. At least a plurality of frames of digital image signals of X-ray fluoroscopic images corresponding to a period which includes an input timing of the radiography instruction are continuously stored in a fluoroscopic image memory section.

    摘要: An X-ray image transmitted through a patient is radiated on a phosphor member having a wide field of view and dimensions of about 40 cm.times.40 cm, and is converted into an optical image. The optical image is radiated on a light detector through a light guide member at substantially the same magnification. The light detector has pixels arranged in a 2,000.times.2,000 two-dimensional matrix form. Each pixel has a photocell and a MOSFET connected to each photocell. The photocell is electrically equivalent to a parallel circuit consisting of a photosensitive portion and an electrode capacitor. An extra capacitor is parallel-connected to the parallel circuit and a switch can turn on/off a connection between the extra capacitor and the photocell. When the optical image is radiated on the photocells, each photocell generates charges corresponding to the light amount, and the light amount is recorded in the electrode capacitor or the electrode capacitor and the extra capacitor, as a charged electrical amount. When this electrical amount is read out by shift registers, the optical image can be read out as a time-serial electrical signal. In a fluoroscopy mode with a small dose, the extra capacitor is not used. However, in a radiography mode with a large dose, the extra capacitor is used so as to increase a capacitance of the capacitors connected to the photocell. Thus, X-ray detection in X-ray fluoroscopy and radiography modes can be performed with a wide field of view.

    摘要: An X-ray detector has a plurality of detector units and a pair of support members. Each detector unit has a base plate, a detector element secured to the base plate, and a retaining plate supporting the detector element. The base plate has a signal line and a ground line for delivering an electrical signal from the detector element. The retaining plate is positioned parallel to the detector element. The support members are set apart and extend along an arc the center of which is an X-ray source. Each support member has a plurality of slits (grooves) cut in the face facing the other support member and juxtaposed at predetermined intervals along said arc. The end portions of each retaining plate are fitted in one slit of one of the support members and the corresponding slit of the other support member, respectively. Therefore, the detector units are supported by the support members and the detector elements are juxtaposed along said arc and set parallel to the X-ray beams from the X-ray source.
