Abstract
A medical diagnostic imaging system includes an X-ray Talbot imaging apparatus and an image processing apparatus to reconstruct one or more moire images produced in the X-ray Talbot imaging apparatus into a plurality of types of medical diagnostic images. The image processing apparatus classifies the medical diagnostic images generated based on the same moire image(s) into a group and outputs the group of medical diagnostic images as a unit to the outside.
Claims4
A medical diagnostic imaging system comprising:
- an X-ray Talbot imaging apparatus comprising:
- an X-ray source,
- a plurality of gratings, and
- an X-ray detector which includes a two-dimensional array of conversion elements to generate an electrical signal according to X-rays emitted one or more times from the X-ray source and passing through a subject and the gratings, and reads the electrical signal generated by the conversion elements, as one or more moire images;
- and
- an image processing apparatus to reconstruct the one or more moire images produced in the X-ray Talbot imaging apparatus into a plurality of types of medical diagnostic images, wherein
- the image processing apparatus classifies the medical diagnostic images generated based on the same one or more moire images into a group, and outputs the group of the medical diagnostic images to an outside as a group to which another medical diagnostic image is prohibited from being added and from which a part of the medical diagnostic images belonging to the group is prohibited from being extracted.
