Abstract
A radiographic apparatus or system for imaging a dynamic state or process of an object such as a human body includes an indication unit for performing dynamic state guiding indication using a perceivable pattern corresponding to a dynamic state or motion to be engaged in by the patient, and an image acquisition unit for acquiring a plurality of radiographs of the human body. The resulting radiographs can be reviewed for diagnosis, and can be stored, either locally or at a remote location.
Claims33
A radiographic apparatus for imaging a dynamic state of a human body, comprising:
- an indication unit adapted to provide dynamic state guiding indication using a perceivable pattern corresponding to a motion constituting at least part of the state to be taken by the human body;
- and
- an image acquisition unit adapted to acquire a plurality of radiographs of the human body.
A radiographic method of imaging dynamic state of a human body by a radiographic apparatus, including an image acquisition unit adapted to acquire a radiograph, said radiographic method comprising:
- an indication step, of providing a dynamic state guiding indication using a perceivable pattern corresponding to a motion constituting at least part of the dynamic state to be taken by the human body;
- and
- an image acquisition step, of acquiring a plurality of radiographs of the human body using the image acquisition unit in parallel with the dynamic state guiding indication provided in the indication step.
A program for having a computer execute a method of imaging a dynamic state of a human body by a radiographic apparatus including an image acquisition unit for acquiring a radiograph, said method comprising:
- an indication step, of providing dynamic state guiding indication using a perceivable pattern corresponding to a motion constituting at least part of the dynamic state to be taken by the human body;
- and
- an image acquisition step, of acquiring a plurality of radiographs of the human body using the image acquisition unit in parallel with the dynamic state guiding indication provided in the indication step.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for having a computer execute a method of imaging a dynamic state of a human body by a radiographic apparatus including an image acquisition unit for acquiring a radiograph, said method comprising:
- an indication step, of providing dynamic state guiding indication using a perceivable pattern corresponding to a motion constituting at least part of the dynamic state to be taken by the human body;
- and
- an image acquisition step, of acquiring a plurality of radiographs of the human body using the image acquisition unit in parallel with the dynamic state guiding indication provided in the indication step.
A radiographic system for imaging a dynamic state of a human body, including a plurality of apparatuses, said system comprising:
- an indication unit adapted to provide dynamic state guiding indication using a perceivable pattern corresponding to a motion constituting at least part of the dynamic state to be taken by the human body;
- and
- an image acquisition unit adapted to acquire a plurality of radiographs of the human body.
An image diagnosis aiding method for aiding image diagnosis of a human body, comprising:
- an indication step, of providing dynamic state guiding indication using a perceivable pattern corresponding to a motion constituting at least part of a dynamic state to be taken by the human body;
- an image acquisition step, of acquiring a plurality of radiographs of the human body using a radiographic apparatus for imaging dynamic state of the human body, including an image acquisition unit for acquiring a radiograph, in parallel with the dynamic state guiding indication provided in the indication step;
- and
- a transmission step, of transmitting the plurality of radiographs acquired in the image acquisition step to a remote computer via a local area network and/or a wide area network.
An image diagnosis aiding system for aiding image diagnosis of a human body, comprising:
- an indication unit adapted to provide dynamic state guiding indication using a perceivable pattern corresponding to a motion constituting at least part of a dynamic state to be taken by the human body;
- an image acquisition unit adapted to acquire a plurality of radiographs of the human body;
- and
- a transmission unit adapted to transmit the plurality of radiographs acquired by the image acquisition unit to a remote computer via a local area network and/or a wide area network.
