Abstract
An X-ray imaging apparatus is provided with an X-ray irradiation unit, an X-ray detection unit, an X-ray image generation unit, a display unit, and a control unit. The control unit includes an enhanced image generation unit that generates, as an enhanced image, at least one of an output image of a trained model and a composite image generated based on the output image and the X-ray image, based on the trained model, and an image output unit configured to make the display unit display the X-ray image and at least one of the output image and the composite image simultaneously or switchably.
Claims8
An X-ray imaging apparatus comprising:
- an X-ray irradiation unit configured to irradiate a subject with X-rays;
- an X-ray detection unit configured to detect X-rays emitted from the X-ray irradiation unit;
- an X-ray image generation unit configured to generate an X-ray image based on a detection signal of X-rays detected by the X-ray detection unit;
- and
- a control unit,
- wherein the control unit includes:
- an enhanced image generation unit configured to generate, as an enhanced image, at least one of an output image of a trained model in which a position of a retained foreign object is emphasized and a composite image generated such that the position of the retained foreign object is emphasized based on the output image and the X-ray image, based on the trained model that detects a region of the retained foreign object in a body of the subject in the X-ray image when the X-ray image generated by the X-ray image generation unit is input;
- and
- an image output unit configured to make a display unit display the X-ray image and at least one of the output image and the composite image simultaneously or switchably, the output image and the composite image being generated by the enhanced image generation unit.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- an enhanced image generation unit configured to generate, as an enhanced image, at least one of an output image of a trained model in which a position of a retained foreign object is emphasized and a composite image generated such that the position of the retained foreign object is emphasized based on the output image and an X-ray image, based on the trained model that detects a region of the retained foreign object in a body of a subject in the X-ray image when the X-ray image generated based on a detection signal of X-rays emitted to the subject is input;
- and
- an image output unit configured to make the display unit display the X-ray image and at least one of the output image and the composite image simultaneously or switchably, the output image and the composite image being generated by the enhanced image generation unit.
