Abstract
A reconfiguration unit sequentially generates a plurality of tomographic images on each of a plurality of tomographic planes of a subject by reconfiguring a plurality of projection images corresponding to each of a plurality of radiation source positions. A determination unit determines whether or not at least one of the tomographic images is visually recognized by an operator. A transmission unit transmits the plurality of tomographic images to an external apparatus in a case where it is determined that at least one of the tomographic images is visually recognized by the operator.
Claims13
An image transmission apparatus comprising at least one processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
- sequentially generate a plurality of tomographic images on each of a plurality of tomographic planes of a subject by reconfiguring a plurality of projection images corresponding to each of a plurality of radiation source positions, the plurality of projection images being generated by causing an imaging apparatus to perform tomosynthesis imaging of relatively moving a radiation source with respect to a detection surface of a radiation detector and irradiating the subject with radiation at the plurality of radiation source positions according to movement of the radiation source;
- determine whether or not at least one of the tomographic images is visually recognized by an operator;
- and
- transmit the plurality of tomographic images to an external apparatus in a case where it is determined that at least one of the tomographic images is visually recognized by the operator.
An image transmission method comprising:
- sequentially generating a plurality of tomographic images on each of a plurality of tomographic planes of a subject by reconfiguring a plurality of projection images corresponding to each of a plurality of radiation source positions, the plurality of projection images being generated by causing an imaging apparatus to perform tomosynthesis imaging of relatively moving a radiation source with respect to a detection surface of a radiation detector and irradiating the subject with radiation at the plurality of radiation source positions according to movement of the radiation source;
- determining whether or not at least one of the tomographic images is visually recognized by an operator;
- and
- transmitting the plurality of tomographic images to an external apparatus in a case where it is determined that at least one of the tomographic images is visually recognized by the operator.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores an image transmission program causing a computer to execute:
- a procedure of sequentially generating a plurality of tomographic images on each of a plurality of tomographic planes of a subject by reconfiguring a plurality of projection images corresponding to each of a plurality of radiation source positions, the plurality of projection images being generated by causing an imaging apparatus to perform tomosynthesis imaging of relatively moving a radiation source with respect to a detection surface of a radiation detector and irradiating the subject with radiation at the plurality of radiation source positions according to movement of the radiation source;
- a procedure of determining whether or not at least one of the tomographic images is visually recognized by an operator;
- and
- a procedure of transmitting the plurality of tomographic images to an external apparatus in a case where it is determined that at least one of the tomographic images is visually recognized by the operator.
