Abstract

A dynamic analysis system includes an imaging unit, an attenuation process unit and an analysis unit. The imaging unit images a dynamic state of a subject, thereby generating a plurality of frame images showing the dynamic state of the subject. The attenuation process unit performs an attenuation process to attenuate an image signal component of a product in the frame images. The analysis unit analyzes the dynamic state of the subject based on the frame images after the attenuation process.

Claims (15)

1. A dynamic analysis system for use with an imaging subject, the dynamic analysis system comprising:

a radiation generator structured to emit radiation through the imaging subject;

a flat panel detector cassette structured to receive the radiation emitted through the imaging subject by the radiation generator; and

a console structured to output radiation emission conditions to the radiation generator and output image reading conditions to the flat panel detector;

wherein the radiation generator and the flat panel detector cassette are structured to image a dynamic state of the imaging subject and generate a plurality of frame images showing the dynamic state of the imaging subject; and

wherein the console is further structured to attenuate an image signal component of a product in the frame images and analyze the dynamic state of the subject based on the frame images after the attenuation process.

2. The dynamic analysis system according to claim 1 , wherein the console is further structured to recognize a product region of the product from the frame images, wherein

the console is structured to attenuate the image signal component of the product by attenuating an image signal component of the recognized product region.

3. The dynamic analysis system according to claim 2 , wherein the console is structured to recognize a bone region from the frame images before recognizing the product region from the frame images, and recognize the product region from a region except the recognized bone region in the frame images.

4. The dynamic analysis system according to claim 2 , wherein the console is structured to recognize a bone region from the frame images after recognizing the product region from the frame images, and recognize a region except the recognized bone region in the recognized product region as a final product region.

5. The dynamic analysis system according to claim 1 , further comprising a display structured to display a dynamic image based on the frame images after the attenuation process.

6. The dynamic analysis system according to claim 5 , wherein the display is structured to display the dynamic image based on the frame images after the attenuation process and a dynamic image based on the frame images before the attenuation process switchably or next to each other.

7. The dynamic analysis system according to claim 5 , wherein

the console is structured to analyze the dynamic state of the subject based on the frame images before the attenuation process, and

the display is structured to display an analysis result made by the analysis unit based on the frame images after the attenuation process and an analysis result made by the console based on the frame images before the attenuation process switchably or next to each other.
