IMAGING SUPPORT DEVICE FOR RADIOGRAPHIC LONG LENGTH IMAGING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An image taking support device for radiographic long length imaging, the image taking support device providing an image of a subject, the image being longer than a length of a maximum field of view of a radiation detector, by combining a plurality of radiographic images each partially overlapping another at the overlapping parts, the device comprising:
- a supporting member including a radiotransparent material and supporting the subject;
markers including a substance with a large radiation attenuation coefficient, the markers being movably arranged along a surface of the supporting member supporting the subject so that the markers provide marks for combining the images;
an irradiated area determination device that determines an area to be irradiated with a radiation;
a marker position determining device that determines positions for arranging the markers, based on the determined area to be irradiated; and
a marker moving device that moves the markers to the determined positions of the markers.
