- the luminance value calculation unit 21 calculates the luminance value of each pixel located within the range of the reference region R in the X-ray fluoroscopic image based on the luminance information of each pixel in the X-ray fluoroscopic image and the position information of the reference region R, respectively. Extract. Then, the luminance value extraction unit 21 calculates an image luminance value corresponding to the X-ray fluoroscopic image based on the extracted luminance value in the reference region.
- the calculation method of the image luminance value may be changed as appropriate, but in the first embodiment, an average value of luminance values extracted from each pixel located in the reference region is set as the image luminance value.
- step S2 the reference region R is set according to the position of the region of interest W. Therefore, the image luminance value calculated by the luminance value extraction unit 21 is close to the luminance value of the region of interest W. Information on the image luminance value calculated by the luminance value extraction unit 21 is transmitted from the luminance value extraction unit 21 to the irradiation condition calculation unit 23.
- Step S4 (calculation of corrected irradiation conditions)
- the irradiation condition calculation unit 23 calculates a correction irradiation condition based on the information on the image luminance value.
- Information on the ideal luminance value is stored in advance in the storage unit 25, and the information on the ideal luminance value is transmitted from the storage unit 25 to the irradiation condition calculation unit 23.
- As the ideal luminance value a luminance value of an X-ray fluoroscopic image that can be suitably viewed by the operator is used.
- the irradiation condition calculation unit 23 compares the ideal luminance value determined in advance with the image luminance value to calculate a difference.
- the irradiation condition calculation unit 23 corrects based on the X-ray irradiation condition at the time of generating the X-ray fluoroscopic image for which the image luminance value is calculated and the difference between the ideal luminance value calculated by the irradiation condition calculation unit 23 and the image luminance value. Irradiation conditions are calculated.
- the corrected irradiation condition is an X-ray irradiation condition in which the image luminance value of the X-ray image becomes an ideal luminance value.
- Information on the corrected irradiation condition is transmitted from the irradiation condition calculation unit 23 to the X-ray irradiation control unit 13. Note that the correction irradiation condition calculation method described here is an example, and a known method may be used as appropriate.
- Step S5 Generation of X-ray image under corrected irradiation conditions
- the X-ray irradiation control unit 13 controls the X-ray irradiation conditions again according to the information on the correction irradiation conditions. That is, the X-ray irradiation control unit 13 controls the tube voltage and tube current of the X-ray tube 5 and various conditions such as X-ray irradiation to values according to the correction irradiation conditions.
- the X-ray irradiation control unit 13 controls the X-ray irradiation conditions again, so that the dose of the X-rays 5a irradiated from the X-ray tube 5, the timing at which the X-ray tube 5 irradiates the X-rays 5a, etc. are corrected irradiation conditions. Will be changed according to the information.
- the X-ray tube 5 irradiates the subject M with a dose of X-rays based on the corrected irradiation conditions in accordance with a control signal from the X-ray irradiation control unit 13.
- the image luminance value of the region of interest W of the X-ray fluoroscopic image generated again by the image generation unit 15 becomes an ideal luminance value. That is, in the X-ray fluoroscopic image, the luminance value of the reference region including the region of interest W is adjusted to an ideal luminance value that can be suitably viewed.
- the X-ray fluoroscopic image displayed again on the monitor 17 is an image with high visibility of the region of interest W.
- the operation of the X-ray fluoroscopic apparatus according to the first embodiment is completed. That is, the operator proceeds with the surgical procedure or diagnoses the subject M based on an X-ray fluoroscopic image in which the region of interest W can be suitably viewed.
- the imaging system and the top plate are moved. Then, the X-ray irradiation condition is corrected according to the luminance of the region of interest by moving the region of interest of the subject shown in the X-ray fluoroscopic image into the range of the reference region previously set in the X-ray fluoroscopic image. .
- the brightness of the X-ray fluoroscopic image is adjusted so that the visibility of the region of interest is high.
- the reference region and the region of interest cannot be aligned unless hardware such as an imaging system or a top plate is moved.
- hardware such as an imaging system or a top plate
- the operator repeats fine adjustment of the position of the imaging system and the like in order to align the reference region and the region of interest.
- the exposure dose received by the subject increases and the time required to acquire an X-ray image that allows the region of interest to be viewed appropriately.
- the operator needs to constantly check the input unit for performing operations such as the imaging system and the monitor on which the region of interest and the reference region are displayed. As a result, the line of sight is repeatedly moved with respect to the input unit and the monitor, which increases the burden on the operator.
- the fluoroscopic imaging apparatus 1 includes a reference area setting unit 19 that sets a reference area on the display screen of the monitor 17 that displays an X-ray image.
- the image viewing area V of the X-ray fluoroscopic image is divided into a plurality of areas E in advance, and an area E selected by the mouse or touch pen as the reference area setting unit 19 is newly set as the reference area R.
- the operator visually recognizes the monitor 17 and confirms the positional relationship between the region of interest W and the reference region R.
- a new reference region R is set on the display screen by manually selecting a region E that includes the region of interest W using the reference region setting unit 19. Since the boundary line of the region E is visible on the display screen, the operator can easily and reliably confirm the region E including the region of interest W. Therefore, it is possible to quickly and reliably execute the setting of the reference region R that includes the region of interest W inside. Further, when the reference region R is newly set, the operator does not need to move his / her line of sight other than the monitor 17, so that the burden on the operator such as fatigue is further reduced.
- the luminance value calculation unit 21 extracts the luminance value of each pixel located within the range of the reference region R, and calculates the image luminance value based on the luminance value in the reference region.
- the irradiation condition calculation unit 23 calculates the corrected irradiation condition based on the information on the image luminance value.
- the X-ray irradiation control unit 13 controls the X-ray irradiation conditions again according to the information on the correction irradiation conditions.
- the corrected irradiation condition is an X-ray irradiation condition in which the image luminance value of the X-ray image is an ideal luminance value, that is, a luminance value that can be suitably viewed by the operator.
- the reference region R is set so as to surely include the region of interest W.
- the image luminance value calculated by the luminance value extraction unit 21 is closer to the luminance value of the region of interest W. Since the correction irradiation condition is calculated based on the image luminance value close to the luminance value of the region of interest W, the fluoroscopic image generated based on the correction irradiation condition is an image that allows the operator to visually recognize the region of interest W suitably. It becomes. Therefore, it is possible to accurately advance the surgical procedure while referring to an X-ray fluoroscopic image that allows the region of interest W to be suitably viewed.
- the setting change of the reference region R by the reference region setting unit 19 can be performed during the execution of X-ray fluoroscopy. That is, even if it is found that the range of the reference region R is out of the position of the region of interest W after the start of fluoroscopy, the position of the reference region R can be quickly changed on the display screen of the monitor 17. Therefore, it is possible to change the setting of the reference region quickly so as to flexibly cope with a change in the status of the surgical procedure during the fluoroscopy, and to advance the surgical procedure more suitably.
- Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
- the overall configuration of the X-ray fluoroscopic apparatus according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the X-ray fluoroscopic apparatus according to the first embodiment.
- the operation process of the X-ray fluoroscopic apparatus according to the second embodiment is the same as the operation process of the X-ray fluoroscopic apparatus according to the first embodiment.
- the image field area V of the X-ray image displayed on the monitor 17 is configured to be divided into a plurality of areas in advance.
- the X-ray fluoroscopic apparatus according to the second embodiment has a configuration in which the reference region can be set without dividing the image visual field region V in advance.
- the configuration for setting the reference region which is characteristic of the second embodiment, will be described with reference to FIG.
- the reference area setting unit 19 selects an arbitrary position on the display screen of the monitor 17, and sets the reference area R at the selected position. It has a configuration to do.
- 4A is the same as FIG. 2A in the first embodiment, in the X-ray fluoroscopic image displayed on the monitor 17, the range of the reference region R set in advance of the subject M from the position of the region of interest W. It shows a state of being detached.
- the reference region setting unit 19 sets a new reference region R around the selected position on the display screen of the monitor 17.
- Examples of the configuration of the reference area setting unit 19 that selects the reference area on the display screen include a mouse pointer and a keyboard. It is more preferable that the reference area setting unit 19 is provided at or near the monitor 17 so that the reference area setting unit 19 can be operated while viewing the monitor 17.
- the operator refers to the monitor 17 and clicks the cursor F at the position of the region of interest W shown in the X-ray image.
- a reference region R having a predetermined shape is set around the position selected by clicking.
- the shape of the reference region R can be changed as appropriate by an icon 17a on the screen of the monitor 17.
- the shape of the reference region R to be set can be changed from a rectangular shape to a circular shape by selecting the circular icon 17a from the state in which the rectangular icon 17a is initially selected (FIG. 4A) ( FIG. 4 (b)).
- the size of the reference region R can be appropriately changed by an operation of selecting and dragging the boundary line of the reference region R.
- the reference region R can be set without dividing the image field region V in advance. Further, since the position serving as the center of the reference region R can be arbitrarily selected, the reference region R can be set at a more appropriate position according to the position of the region of interest W displayed on the monitor 17. Further, the configuration illustrated in FIG. 4B is not limited to the configuration in which the shape of the reference region R is changed with the icon 17a. That is, a configuration in which a pointer such as the cursor F is operated using a pointing device such as a mouse to draw the outline of the reference region R on the display screen of the monitor 17 may be adopted. In this case, since the position and shape of the reference region R can be arbitrarily set, the reference region R having a more preferable shape can be newly set.
- FIG. 4C shows a modification of the X-ray fluoroscopic apparatus according to the second embodiment.
- the monitor 17 is configured by a touch panel. That is, the monitor 17 has a panel-like position input device on the surface for detecting the touched position. The operator touches the position input device using a finger or a touch pen T and directly draws an area to be a reference area, thereby setting the range of the reference area R on the display screen of the monitor 17.
- the position input device constituting the monitor 17 corresponds to the reference region setting unit 19 which is a reference region setting means.
- the operator can set the reference area R having an arbitrary shape at an arbitrary position. Therefore, a reference region R having a suitable shape can be newly set so as to exclude a region other than the region of interest W as much as possible according to the position / shape of the region of interest W. As a result, the image luminance value calculated by the luminance value calculation unit 21 is closer to the luminance value of the region of interest W, and thus it is possible to generate an X-ray fluoroscopic image with higher visibility of the region of interest W.
- the reference region setting unit 19 sets a new reference region R on the display screen as in the first embodiment. That is, in the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the operator can quickly set the reference region R manually without moving the line of sight other than the monitor 17. As a result, it is possible to more quickly obtain an X-ray fluoroscopic image that allows the operator to visually recognize the site of interest W while reducing the burden on the operator.
- the reference field R is set on the display screen without dividing the image viewing field V and the screen of the monitor 17 into a plurality of areas E in advance. Therefore, the technique according to the present invention can be applied to the monitor 17 having a configuration that is not divided into a plurality of regions E, and thus the versatility of the X-ray fluoroscopic apparatus can be enhanced. In addition, since the step of dividing the image visual field region V or the like into a plurality of regions in advance can be omitted, it is possible to avoid spending time for setting work.
- the position and shape of the reference region R can be changed more flexibly according to the region of interest W shown on the monitor 17 without being affected by the shape of the region E that divides the image viewing region V or the like. That is, a more preferable range of the reference region R can be newly set so that the region other than the region of interest W is out of the range as much as possible according to the shape of the region of interest W or the like. As a result, the image luminance value calculated by the luminance value calculation unit 21 is closer to the luminance value of the region of interest W. Therefore, the visibility of the region of interest W can be further improved in the fluoroscopic image generated based on the corrected irradiation condition.
- the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified as follows.
- the irradiation condition fixing unit 29 (not shown) may be further provided.
- the irradiation condition fixing unit is, for example, a button or a switch provided in the input unit 11.
- at least the calculation of the image luminance value performed by the luminance value calculation unit 21 and the calculation of the correction irradiation condition performed by the irradiation condition calculation unit 23 are performed by turning on the irradiation condition fixing unit.
- One is configured to stop.
- the corrected irradiation condition is fixed under the most recently calculated condition and is no longer updated.
- the irradiation condition fixing unit corresponds to the luminance adjustment switching means in the present invention.
- the operator uses the reference region setting unit 19 to set the range of the reference region R according to the position of the region of interest W. Then, after the X-ray fluoroscopic image displayed on the monitor 17 is adjusted to a luminance that allows the region of interest W to be suitably viewed, the irradiation condition fixing unit is operated to be turned on. In this case, since the correction irradiation condition is fixed, the luminance of the X-ray fluoroscopic image is always in a state where the region of interest W can be suitably viewed.
- the luminance value is generally excessively high in a pixel in which the metal is reflected. Therefore, in the configuration in which the correction irradiation condition is always calculated based on the luminance value in the reference region, when a metal piece is newly reflected in the reference region R, the luminance value calculation unit 21 is affected by the luminance of the metal piece, A higher value of the image luminance value is calculated. As a result, the brightness of the X-ray fluoroscopic image generated based on the corrected irradiation condition is drastically reduced, so that the visibility of the region of interest W is lowered.
- the irradiation condition fixing unit is turned on, so that the correction irradiation condition is not changed even when the luminance in the reference region changes. That is, even when a metal piece such as a scalpel or scissors is newly reflected within the range of the reference region R due to the progress of the surgical procedure, the luminance of the X-ray fluoroscopic image does not change, and the region of interest W can be suitably viewed. State is maintained. Therefore, a situation in which the brightness of the X-ray fluoroscopic image rapidly decreases as a result of the brightness value in the pixels that show the metal piece having an influence on the correction irradiation condition due to the metal piece appearing in the reference region R can be preferably avoided.
- the luminance value calculation unit 21 extracts all the luminance values of each pixel located in the reference region, and calculates the image luminance value based on the extracted luminance value in the reference region.
- the upper limit luminance value and the lower limit luminance value are set in advance and stored in the storage unit 25, and the luminance value calculation unit 21 calculates the luminance value from the lower limit luminance value to the upper limit luminance value among the luminance values of each pixel located in the reference area.
- the configuration may be such that only the luminance value between the values is extracted to calculate the image luminance value.
- an X-ray image showing an extreme luminance value such as a luminance value exceeding the upper limit luminance value or a luminance value falling below the lower limit luminance value.
- an extreme luminance value such as a luminance value exceeding the upper limit luminance value or a luminance value falling below the lower limit luminance value.
- the luminance value is higher than the upper limit luminance value
- a metal piece such as the above-described knife or fixing bolt is reflected in the reference region. Therefore, when an X-ray image of a metal piece or the like is reflected in the reference area, the high luminance value indicated by the metal piece affects the image luminance value and the correction irradiation condition, and the luminance of the X-ray fluoroscopic image sharply decreases. Is concerned.
- an example of a case where the luminance value is lower than the lower limit luminance value is a case where X-rays are detected by the X-ray detector without passing through the subject M. That is, when the region of interest W has a complicated shape such as a finger of the subject M, X-rays directly enter the X-ray detector without passing through the subject M in a part of the reference region R. As a result, since the luminance value is extremely low in a pixel to which X-rays are directly incident, the extremely low luminance value affects the image luminance value and the correction irradiation condition, and the luminance of the X-ray fluoroscopic image becomes excessively high. Therefore, there is a concern that the visibility of the site of interest is reduced.
- the luminance value calculation unit 21 determines the luminance value of the pixel that indicates a luminance value higher than the upper limit luminance value and the pixel that indicates a luminance value lower than the lower limit value. Excluded from extraction.
- the brightness value calculation unit 21 automatically excludes pixels that show extreme brightness values, such as pixels that directly receive X-rays or pixels that project metal pieces, and calculates image brightness values. Therefore, it is possible to suitably avoid a situation in which the visibility of the region of interest is lowered as a result of pixels that exhibit an extreme luminance value affecting the correction irradiation condition and the luminance of the fluoroscopic image changes excessively.
- the setting of the reference area performed on the display screen may be executed before the X-ray fluoroscopy is started.
- Examples of setting the reference area before fluoroscopy include the following cases. That is, when the positional relationship between the X-ray irradiation field B confirmed with visible light or the like and the region of interest W in the subject M placed on the top 3 is as shown in FIG. It is easily expected to appear below the image viewing area.
- the operator changes the setting of the reference region R initially set in the center of the screen (FIG. 5B) to the lower side of the screen of the monitor 17 and then starts X-ray irradiation by X-ray fluoroscopy ( FIG. 5 (c)). Since the reference region R is set according to the position of the region of interest W from the beginning of X-ray fluoroscopy, it is possible to shorten the time until the luminance of the X-ray fluoroscopic image is adjusted. As a result, the exposure dose received by the subject M in the brightness adjustment of the X-ray fluoroscopic image can be reduced.
- a reference region is set on the display screen for the X-ray fluoroscopic image, and the X-ray fluoroscopic image can be suitably visually recognized based on the set range of the reference region.
- the X-ray image for setting the reference area may be an X-ray image.
- the X-ray irradiation condition of the X-ray image may be calculated as the correction irradiation condition based on the range of the reference region.
- the irradiation condition calculation unit 23 corrects the irradiation condition in the X-ray imaging that captures a still image based on the luminance value of the pixel in the reference region that is preferably set according to the position of the region of interest W. Is calculated.
- the corrected irradiation condition calculated by the irradiation condition calculation unit 23 is an X-ray irradiation condition for generating an X-ray image having a luminance value that allows the region of interest to be suitably viewed. Therefore, the X-ray irradiation control unit 13 can acquire an X-ray image that can suitably visually recognize the region of interest by controlling the X-ray tube 5 based on the corrected irradiation condition.
- the X-ray image is generated for the subject M in the supine posture.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and the configuration of the X-ray fluoroscopic apparatus according to the embodiment is established.
- the present invention can also be applied to the subject M taking a posture.
- the x direction that is, the body axis direction of the subject M is parallel to the vertical direction.

Abstract
Cet appareil d'imagerie fluoroscopique à rayons X comprend une unité de définition d'une région de référence 19, à l'aide de laquelle une région de référence est définie manuellement sur un écran d'affichage. Un opérateur confirme visuellement la position d'une région d'intérêt appartenant à un sujet et affichée sur un moniteur 17 et, à l'aide de l'unité de définition d'une région de référence 19, définit une nouvelle région de référence sur l'écran d'affichage, de manière à y intégrer la région d'intérêt. Ceci permet une définition rapide et fiable de la région de référence qui intègre la région d'intérêt. En outre, lors de la définition de la région de référence, la charge de travail de l'opérateur est réduite, car il ne lui est pas nécessaire de regarder ailleurs qu'en direction du moniteur 17. Une unité de calcul de la valeur de luminance 21 calcule la valeur de la luminance de l'image sur la base de la valeur de la luminance de chaque pixel positionné à l'intérieur de la plage de la région de référence, et une unité de calcul des conditions d'exposition 23 calcule une condition d'exposition corrigée sur la base de la valeur de la luminance de l'image. Une unité de commande de l'exposition aux rayons X 13 est capable d'acquérir une image radiologique dans laquelle l'opérateur peut visualiser de manière appropriée la région d'intérêt en commandant un tube à rayons X 5 sur la base de la condition d'exposition corrigée.
