Abstract
An X-ray imaging control apparatus acquires radiographic data obtained from an X-ray imaging apparatus which controls an X-ray dose upon X-ray imaging by detecting the X-ray dose in one or a plurality of detection regions, and displays a radiographic image on the basis of the acquired radiographic data. At this time, detection region information indicating the position and range of each detection region used in the X-ray imaging apparatus upon generating the radiographic data is acquired. Based on this detection region information, an image indicating each detection region is superimposed on the displayed radiographic image.
Claims13
A display control apparatus for radiographic data obtained from a radiographic imaging apparatus, comprising:
- a first acquisition unit configured to acquire radiographic data obtained from a radiographic imaging apparatus which controls a radiation dose upon radiographic imaging by detecting a radiation dose in one or a plurality of detection regions;
- a first display control unit configured to control a display of a radiographic image on the basis of the radiographic data acquired by said first acquisition unit;
- a second acquisition unit configured to acquire detection region information indicating a position and range of each detection region used in the radiographic imaging apparatus upon generating the radiographic data;
- and
- a second display control unit configured to superimpose an image indicating each detection region on the radiographic image displayed by said first display control unit on the basis of the detection region information acquired by said second acquisition unit.
A display control method for radiographic data obtained from a radiographic imaging apparatus, said method comprising:
- a first acquisition step of acquiring radiographic data obtained from an X-ray imaging apparatus which controls an X-ray dose upon X-ray imaging by detecting an X-ray dose in one or a plurality of detection regions;
- a first display step of displaying a radiographic image on the basis of the radiographic data acquired in the first acquisition step;
- a second acquisition step of acquiring detection region information indicating a position and range of each detection region used in the X-ray imaging apparatus upon generating the radiographic data;
- and
- a second display step of superimposing an image indicating each detection region on the radiographic image displayed in the first display step on the basis of the detection region information acquired in the second acquisition step.
An X-ray imaging system including an X-ray imaging unit and a control unit for controlling the X-ray imaging unit, comprising:
- a first acquisition unit configured to acquire radiographic data obtained from the X-ray imaging unit which controls an X-ray dose upon X-ray imaging by detecting an X-ray dose in one or a plurality of detection regions;
- a transmission unit configured to transmit the radiographic data to the control unit;
- a first display control unit configured to control a display of a radiographic image on the basis of the radiographic data transmitted from said transmission unit;
- a second acquisition unit configured to acquire detection region information indicating a position and range of each detection region used in the X-ray imaging unit upon generating the radiographic data;
- and
- a second display control unit configured to superimpose an image indicating each detection region on the radiographic image displayed by said first display control unit on the basis of the detection region information acquired by said second acquisition unit.
