Radiography guide system and method

Abstract

A radiography guide system includes a patient image providing unit for providing, on a screen, one piece of information among information on the position where a virtual patient is to be placed, a radiographic direction, and a radiographic angle, and a patient image which represents, as a three-dimensional image, the virtual patient's posture corresponding to a viewing angle, and an overlay image providing unit for generating an external image which represents, as a three-dimensional image, the appearance of the virtual patient's body according to the position information, the radiographic direction, and the radiographic angle, an internal image which represents the skeleton structure of the body as a three-dimensional image, and a radiographic image of the body. The overlay image providing unit provides, on the screen, an overlay image which overlappingly represents the internal image, the external image, and the radiographic image in the state where the images are registered.
