Abstract
An X-ray diagnosis apparatus according to an embodiment includes a calculating unit and a control unit. The calculating unit that calculates an angle between a specified position specified in an ultrasonic image generated through transmission and reception of ultrasonic waves by an ultrasound probe and a predetermined position in a radiographic space where a subject is radiographed based on information on a relative position between the radiographic space and a scanning space where the subject is scanned by the ultrasound probe. The control unit that controls an arm to move so that the subject is radiographed at the angle calculated by the calculating unit.
Claims5
An X-ray diagnosis apparatus comprising:
- a calculating unit that calculates an angle between a specified position specified in an ultrasonic image generated through transmission and reception of ultrasonic waves by an ultrasound probe and a predetermined position in a radiographic space where a subject is radiographed based on information on a relative position between the radiographic space and a scanning space where the subject is scanned by the ultrasound probe;
- and
- a control unit that controls an arm to move so that the subject is radiographed at the angle calculated by the calculating unit.
An arm control method performed by an X-ray diagnosis apparatus, the arm control method comprising:
- calculating an angle between a specified position specified in an ultrasonic image generated through transmission and reception of ultrasonic waves by an ultrasound probe and a predetermined position in a radiographic space where a subject is radiographed based on information on a relative position between the radiographic space and a scanning space where the subject is scanned by the ultrasound probe;
- and
- controlling an arm to move so that the subject is radiographed at the angle calculated at the calculating.
