## Abstract

A radiation image display apparatus that constitutes a radiation imaging system includes a displayer and a hardware processor that acquires image data of a dynamic image constituted of a plurality of frame images, image data of an analysis dynamic image obtained by applying predetermined image processing to the image data of the dynamic image and image data of a related dynamic image which is related to the dynamic image or the analysis dynamic image respectively, and causes the displayer to display the related dynamic image together with the dynamic image and the analysis dynamic image.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A radiation image display apparatus comprising:
a displayer; and
a hardware processor that acquires image data of a dynamic image constituted of a plurality of frame images, image data of an analysis dynamic image obtained by applying predetermined image processing to the image data of the dynamic image and image data of a related dynamic image which is related to the dynamic image or the analysis dynamic image respectively, and causes the displayer to display the related dynamic image together with the dynamic image and the analysis dynamic image.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The radiation image display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the image data of the related dynamic image is image data of a dynamic image obtained by capturing an image of a same object in the past or image data of an analysis dynamic image, and
the hardware processor can cause the displayer to display the related dynamic images arranged in time series.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The radiation image display apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising an operating part that can be operated by a user, wherein when a number of the related dynamic images that cannot be displayed at a time on the displayer are acquired, the hardware processor can switch display of the displayer so that the related dynamic images which are not yet displayed so far are displayed based on the operation performed on the operating part.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The radiation image display apparatus according to claim 3, wherein
the hardware processor specifies some of the dynamic images displayed on the displayer based on the operation performed on the operating part, and
switches display of regions in which dynamic images other than the dynamic image specified on the displayer are displayed.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The radiation image display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the hardware processor associates a predetermined mark or comment with an image capturing timing of the related dynamic image or between image capturing timings based on the operation performed on the operating part.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The radiation image display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein
the hardware processor can cause the displayer to display the associated marks or comments arranged in time series, and
upon selection of any one of the marks or the comments based on the operation performed on the operating part, switches display of the displayer so that the related dynamic image associated with the selected mark or comment is displayed.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The radiation image display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein when the lung field is an imaging target region of the analysis dynamic image and the related dynamic image, the hardware processor can cause the displayer to display a graph representing a relationship between a distance from the pulmonary apex to the diaphragm and the number of frame images in the analysis dynamic image and the related dynamic image.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The radiation image display apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the hardware processor causes a waveform of one of a graph corresponding to the analysis dynamic image and a graph corresponding to the related dynamic image to be approximated to a waveform of the other graph.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The radiation image display apparatus according to claim 7, wherein when playing back the analysis dynamic image or the related dynamic image, the hardware processor partially plays back frames starting from a frame in which image capturing is performed when a distance from the pulmonary apex to the diaphragm is a maximum to a frame in which image capturing is performed when the distance is a minimum or from a frame in which image capturing is performed when a distance from the pulmonary apex to the diaphragm is a minimum to a frame in which image capturing is performed when the distance is a maximum.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The radiation image display apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the hardware processor can play back the analysis dynamic image and the related dynamic image simultaneously.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The radiation image display apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the hardware processor can change playback speeds of the analysis dynamic image and the related dynamic image.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The radiation image display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the hardware processor can apply predetermined image processing to dynamic image data constituted of a plurality of frame images to generate analysis dynamic image data.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

A radiation imaging system comprising:
a radiation image analysis apparatus that can apply predetermined image processing to dynamic image data constituted of a plurality of frame images to generate analysis dynamic image data; and
the radiation image display apparatus according to claim 1.
