Abstract

An X-ray image diagnostic system of an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire an image obtained by imaging a plurality of detection elements that output signals in response to incident X-rays, and a plurality of scattered radiation removal plates arranged at least in a channel direction on the side of a first surface of the plurality of detection elements on which the X-rays are incident in a direction substantially normal to the first surface, and generate data regarding an irradiated area of each of the plurality of detection elements on the basis of the image.

Claims (24)

1 . An X-ray image diagnostic system comprising processing circuitry configured to:

acquire an image obtained by imaging a plurality of detection elements that output signals in response to incident X-rays, and a plurality of scattered radiation removal plates arranged at least in a channel direction on the side of a first surface of the plurality of detection elements on which the X-rays are incident in a direction substantially normal to the first surface; and

generate data regarding an irradiated area of each of the plurality of detection elements on the basis of the image.

2 . The X-ray image diagnostic system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to generate the data in which a position of the center of gravity of an actual irradiated area of each of the plurality of detection elements is set to an irradiated position in areas of the plurality of detection elements included in the image.

3 . The X-ray image diagnostic system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of scattered radiation removal plates are arranged in parallel in the channel direction at intervals to provide two or more of the plurality of detection elements between adjacent scattered radiation removal plates.

4 . The X-ray image diagnostic system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

the plurality of detection elements;

the plurality of scattered radiation removal plates; and

a collector configured to collect signals output by each of the plurality of detection elements,

wherein the processing circuitry is configured to generate a reconstructed image on the basis of the signals and the data.

5 . The X-ray image diagnostic system according to claim 4 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to generate the reconstructed image by setting the position of the center of gravity of the actual irradiated area of each of the plurality of detection elements included in the data as an irradiated position.

6 . The X-ray image diagnostic system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:

acquire an infrared light image based on output data corresponding to infrared light radiated from a light source provided on the side of the first surface and reflected by electrodes corresponding to the plurality of detection elements and the plurality of scattered radiation removal plates; and

generate the data on the basis of the infrared light image.

7 . The X-ray image diagnostic system according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:

acquire a transmitted image based on output data corresponding to X-rays radiated from an X-ray tube provided on the side of the first surface and transmitted through partition walls of the plurality of detection elements; and

generate the data on the basis of the transmitted image.

8 . The X-ray image diagnostic system according to claim 7 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to generate the data by excluding an area corresponding to the scattered radiation removal plates from among shaded areas in the transmitted image.

9 . An X-ray image diagnostic method, using a computer, comprising:

acquiring an image obtained by imaging a plurality of detection elements that output signals in response to incident X-rays, and a plurality of scattered radiation removal plates arranged at least in a channel direction on a side of a first surface of the plurality of detection elements on which the X-rays are incident in a direction substantially normal to the first surface; and

generating data regarding an irradiated area of each of the plurality of detection elements on the basis of the image.

10 . A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing a program causing a computer to:

acquire an image obtained by imaging a plurality of detection elements that output signals in response to incident X-rays, and a plurality of scattered radiation removal plates arranged at least in a channel direction on a side of a first surface of the plurality of detection elements on which the X-rays are incident in a direction substantially normal to the first surface; and

generate data regarding an irradiated area of each of the plurality of detection elements on the basis of the image.
