X-ray fluoroscopic radiographing apparatus and method

An apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the image process is a recursive process and said display control unit executes the recursive process on frames of the X-ray moving image data instructed by a reference image instructing unit in such a manner that:

• if no recursive-processed frames exist within N frames before a present frame and the number of the present frame is less than N, the recursive process is executed on the frames within a range from a head frame to the present frame;
• if no recursive-processed frames exist within N frames before the present frame and the number of the present frame is equal to or larger than N, the recursive process is executed on the frames within a range from the N-precedent frame of the present frame to the present frame;
• and
• if recursive-processed frames exist within the (N−1) frames before the present frame, the relevant frame is set to an initial image and the recursive process is executed on the frames within a range from the frame next to the relevant frame to the present frame.
