X-RAY DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
First Claim
1. An X-ray diagnostic apparatus comprising:
- a radiographing unit configured to shoot an X-ray image of a subject while irradiating the subject with X-rays;
an adjuster configured to adjust an X-ray irradiation field of the radiographing unit;
an image generator configured to generate a single X-ray image by stitching a plurality of the X-ray images together;
a range setter configured to set an imaging range to be imaged by the radiographing unit;
an interval setter configured to set an imaging interval to be used when the radiographing unit images the imaging range;
an area setter configured to set a size of an image stitching area in which to stitch the X-ray images;
an irradiation field acquirer configured to find a target X-ray irradiation field of the radiographing unit by use of the imaging interval set by the interval setter and the size of the image stitching area set by the area setter; and
a controller configured to control the adjuster on the basis of the target X-ray irradiation field found by the irradiation field acquirer.

Abstract
An X-ray diagnostic apparatus of an embodiment includes: an adjuster for adjusting an X-ray irradiation field of a radiographing unit; a range setter for setting an imaging range to be imaged by the radiographing unit; an interval setter for setting an imaging interval to be used when the radiographing unit images the imaging range; an area setter for setting a size of an image stitching area in which to stitch the X-ray images; an irradiation field acquirer for finding a target X-ray irradiation field of the radiographing unit by use of the imaging interval and the size of the image stitching area; and a controller for controlling the adjuster on the basis of the target X-ray irradiation field.

11. A method for controlling an X-ray diagnostic apparatus provided with
a radiographing unit configured to shoot an X-ray image of a subject while irradiating the subject with X-rays, an adjuster configured to adjust an X-ray irradiation field of the radiographing unit, and an image generator configured to generate a single X-ray image by stitching a plurality of the X-ray images together, the method comprising the steps of: -
setting an imaging range to be imaged by the radiographing unit; setting an imaging interval to be used when the radiographing unit images the imaging range; setting a size of an image stitching area in which to stitch the X-ray images; finding a target X-ray irradiation field of the radiographing unit by use of the set imaging interval, and the set size of the image stitching area; and controlling the adjuster on the basis of the found target X-ray irradiation field. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
