Abstract
According to one embodiment, an X-ray diagnostic apparatus includes a holding device and processing circuitry. The holding device movably holds an X-ray generator and an X-ray detector. The processing circuitry generates an X-ray image of the subject, based on an output of the X-ray detector. The processing circuitry sets an interference judgment region between the holding device and an interference object, based on a landmark in the X-ray image. The processing circuitry controls movement of the holding device, based on the set interference judgment region.
Claims14
An X-ray diagnostic apparatus comprising:
- a holding device including an X-ray generator configured to generate X-rays which are emitted to a subject placed on a couch top, and an X-ray detector configured to detect X-rays which have passed through the subject, the holding device being configured to movably hold the X-ray generator and the X-ray detector;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to
- generate an X-ray image of the subject, based on an output of the X-ray detector,
- detect, based on the generated X-ray image and a landmark image which is stored in a memory, a landmark from the X-ray image,
- set an interference judgment region between the holding device and an interference object, based on the landmark detected from the X-ray image, and
- control movement of the holding device, based on the set interference judgment region.
