Abstract
A radiographic apparatus according to an embodiment includes storage, a shape image capture unit, an image acquiring unit, a position acquiring unit, a conversion unit, and a positional relationship adjusting unit. The shape image capture unit captures the shape image of an examinee. The image acquiring unit acquires a shape image from the storage. The position acquiring unit acquires a position in the acquired shape image which corresponds to a region of interest. The conversion unit converts the position in the acquired shape image into a position in the captured shape image. The positional relationship adjusting unit adjusts the positional relationship between a detector and the examinee on the basis of the conversion result.
Claims10
A radiographic apparatus comprising:
- storage configured to store a shape image of an examinee in advance;
- a shape image capture unit configured to capture the shape image of the examinee;
- an image acquiring unit configured to acquire the shape image of the examinee to be captured by the shape image capture unit which is stored in advance from the storage;
- a position acquiring unit configured to acquire a position corresponding to a region of interest specified in a functional image, which is captured in association with the shape image acquired by the image acquiring unit, in the acquired shape image;
- a conversion unit configured to convert the position in the shape image acquired by the position acquiring unit into a position in the captured shape image, on the basis of a correspondence between the position in the shape image captured by the shape image capture unit and the position in the acquired shape image;
- and
- a positional relationship adjusting unit configured to adjust the positional relationship between the examinee and a detector which detects radiation for generating a nuclear medicine image, on the basis of the position in the captured shape image, which is the conversion result of the conversion unit.
A control method comprising:
- capturing a shape image of an examinee;
- acquiring the shape image of the examinee to be captured, which is stored in storage in advance, from the storage;
- acquiring a position corresponding to a region of interest specified in a functional image, which is captured in association with the acquired shape image, in the acquired shape image;
- converting the position in the acquired shape image into a position in the captured shape image, on the basis of a correspondence between the position in the captured shape image and the position in the acquired shape image;
- and
- adjusting the positional relationship between the examinee and a detector which detects radiation for generating a nuclear medicine image, on the basis of the position in the captured shape image, which is the conversion result.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that cause a computer to execute:
- capturing a shape image of an examinee;
- acquiring the shape image of the examinee to be captured, which is stored in storage in advance, from the storage;
- acquiring a position corresponding to a region of interest specified in a functional image, which is captured in association with the acquired shape image, in the acquired shape image;
- converting the position in the acquired shape image into a position in the captured shape image, on the basis of a correspondence between the position in the captured shape image and the position in the acquired shape image;
- and
- adjusting the positional relationship between the examinee and a detector which detects radiation for generating a nuclear medicine image, on the basis of the position in the captured shape image, which is the conversion result.
A radiographic apparatus comprising:
- a shape image capture unit configured to capture a shape image of an examinee;
- a specifying unit configured to specify the position of a region of interest in the shape image captured by the shape image capture unit;
- and
- a positional relationship adjusting unit configured to adjust the positional relationship between the examinee and a detector that detects radiation for generating a nuclear medicine image, on the basis of the position in the captured shape image which is specified by the specifying unit.
A control method comprising:
- capturing a shape image of an examinee;
- specifying the position of a region of interest in the captured shape image;
- and
- adjusting the positional relationship between the examinee and a detector that detects radiation for generating a nuclear medicine image, on the basis of the specified position in the captured shape image.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that cause a computer to execute:
- capturing a shape image of an examinee;
- specifying the position of a region of interest in the captured shape image;
- and
- adjusting the positional relationship between the examinee and a detector that detects radiation for generating a nuclear medicine image, on the basis of the specified position in the captured shape image.
