Abstract
An X-ray diagnostic apparatus includes imaging means including an X-ray application unit which applies X-rays to a subject and an X-ray detection unit which detects the X-rays applied from the X-ray application unit to pick up a medical image, path calculating means for obtaining a path of an imaging position for the subject on the basis of a map image, a storage unit which stores the path, imaging system moving means for movably supporting the imaging means to capture the imaging position in an imaging field and movement control means for moving the imaging system moving means to successively move the imaging position along the path.
Claims16
An X-ray diagnostic apparatus comprising:
- imaging means including an X-ray application unit which applies X-rays to a subject and an X-ray detection unit which detects the X-rays applied from the X-ray application unit to pick up a medical image;
- path calculating means for obtaining a path of an imaging position for the subject on the basis of a map image;
- a storage unit which stores the path;
- imaging system moving means for movably supporting the imaging means to capture the imaging position in an imaging field;
- and
- movement control means for moving the imaging system moving means to successively move the imaging position along the path.
An X-ray diagnostic apparatus comprising:
- imaging means including an X-ray application unit which applies X-rays to a subject and an X-ray detection unit which detects the X-rays applied from the X-ray application unit to pick up a medical image;
- extracting means for extracting a blood vessel of the subject from a map image;
- imaging system moving means for movably supporting the imaging means;
- movement control means for moving the imaging system moving means to successively move the imaging position for the subject along the extracted blood vessel;
- and
- imaging control means for picking up a moving image by the imaging means during the movement of the imaging system moving means.
An X-ray diagnostic apparatus comprising:
- imaging means including an X-ray application unit which applies X-rays to a subject and an X-ray detection unit which detects the X-rays applied from the X-ray application unit to pick up a medical image;
- position calculating means for obtaining imaging positions for the subject on the basis of blood vessel numbers anatomically allocated to organs inside the subject;
- a storage unit which stores the imaging position;
- imaging system moving means for movably supporting the imaging means to capture the imaging position in an imaging field;
- and
- movement control means for moving the imaging system moving means to successively move the imaging position along the imaging positions obtained by the position calculating means.
