摘要:
The amount of time spent extracting linear noise components is reduced, when removing linear noise components from an image. A reduced image is generated, by reducing a radiation image in at least one of the vertical and horizontal directions. A linear noise image that represents linear noise components in the Y direction is generated, by extracting linear noise components from the reduced image. Thereafter, the generated linear noise image is enlarged to the image size of the original image; the linear noise components are removed from the radiation image, employing the enlarged linear noise image.

A method for use with a radiation image detector, including the steps of detecting a faulty signal line having a signal amount less than a predetermined threshold value based on radiation image signals read out from the detector, setting a signal line adjacent to the faulty signal line as an abnormal signal line and a signal line adjacent to the abnormal signal line and having a normal amount of signal as a reference signal line, calculating the difference between a signal read out by the abnormal signal line and a signal read out by the reference signal line as a correction amount, calculating a low frequency component correction amount by removing a high frequency component from the calculated correction amount, and performing a correction on the signal read out by the abnormal signal line by adding the calculated low frequency component correction amount to the signal.

In a mammography system including a face guard, it is possible to prevent a human subject whose head is in close contact with the face guard from losing her posture and being in an unstable state. In a mammography system which includes a shield member for preventing radiation from being irradiated onto the face of the human subject, a radiation source which irradiates radiation is moved, such that, when radiation in two radiographing directions is irradiated from two focal positions distant from the chest wall of the human subject in a forward direction, the shield member is configured to be fixed at a predetermined position in the forward direction without being interlocking with the movement of the radiation source.

In the state where X-rays are not projected, image signals S1 are read out from a detector 1, and the values of these image signals S1 are stored as offset correction values in a correction table 16. The detector 1 is then irradiated with X-rays having a maximum dose of radiation to determine the gain correction values at which all the values of signals S3, which are the image signals S1 after the correction, are at a maximum value which can be taken as the signal value after the correction, and these values are stored in the correction table 16. Then, a subject is actually photographed to obtain image signals S1, and the image signals S1 are corrected for the offsets and gains by an offset adjusting means 11 and an AGC amplifier, on the basis of the offset correction values and the gain correction values stored in the correction table 16.

In a signal detecting method of repeating the processes of initiating accumulation of charge signals by switching an integrating amplifier to an accumulator mode, retaining a first electric signal outputted from the integrating amplifier immediately after switching to the accumulator mode, finding a difference as a signal component between a second electric signal outputted from the integrating amplifier immediately before switching to a reset mode after completing accumulation of the charge signals and the first electric signal, and converting and outputting the signal component into a digital signal. Here, the signal component concerning a first charge signal is retained by second signal retaining means and then converted into the digital signal. Further, the integrating amplifier is switched to the accumulator mode after completing accumulation concerning the first charge signal but before completing conversion into the digital signal to initiate accumulation concerning a second charge signal.

In a radiation detector: a CsI:Tl (or CsI:Na) scintillator receives a number X of radiation quantums for each pixel, and emits a number L of photons constituting fluorescent light in response to each radiation quantum; photoelectric converters containing Si (or Se) as a main component are arranged corresponding to respective pixels to receive the fluorescent light with an entrance efficiency T, and generate charges when the fluorescent light is detected; and a capacitor is connected to each photoelectric converter, and stores the charges generated by the photoelectric converter. When the radiation detector receives a 10 to 300 mR dose of the radiation, the numbers X and L, the entrance efficiency T, the fill factor F and the photoelectric conversion efficiency &eegr; of each photoelectric converter, and the maximum storable charge amount Q of the capacitor satisfy a relationship X·L·T·F·&eegr;≦Q.
