X-ray moving image radiographing apparatus
First Claim
1. A control apparatus for controlling an X-ray source, the control apparatus comprising:
- a first acquisition unit configured to acquire an endoscopic image from an endoscope inserted in a subject;
a second acquisition unit configured to acquire an X-ray image of the endoscope in the subject by detecting with an X-ray detector an X-ray emitted from the X-ray source;
a determination unit configured to determine a position of the endoscope in the subject based on the X-ray image of the endoscope;
a radiation control unit configured to control the X-ray source to emit an X-ray to capture a next X-ray image of the endoscope based on the determined position of the endoscope; and
a display control unit configured to display on a display unit the endoscopic image acquired from the endoscope together with the captured next X-ray image.

Abstract
An X-ray moving image radiographing apparatus includes an X-ray detector configured to detect an X-ray transmitting through a subject to acquire a subject image, an image processing unit configured to process an X-ray radiographic image output from the X-ray detector, and a control unit configured to capture a mask image by selectively scanning X-ray focal positions of an X-ray source which has a plurality of X-ray focal points so that an X-ray incident angle varies with respect to a target point of the subject, and to capture a moving image after a predetermined work is performed on the subject by selectively scanning X-ray focal positions of the X-ray source similar to the scanning operation used to capture the mask image.

15. A method for controlling an X-ray source, the method comprising;
-
acquiring an endoscopic image from an endoscope inserted in a subject; acquiring an X-ray image of the endoscope in the subject by detecting with an X-ray detector an X-ray emitted from the X-ray source; determining a position of the endoscope in the subject based on the X-ray image; controlling the X-ray source to emit an X-ray to capture a next X-ray image of the endoscope based on the determined position of the endoscope; and controlling to display on a display unit the endoscopic image together with the next X-ray image.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer-executable program including instructions to cause at least one computer to execute a process for controlling an X-ray source, the program comprising:
-
instructions for acquiring an endoscopic image from an endoscope inserted in a subject; instructions for acquiring an X-ray image of the endoscope in the subject by detecting with an X-ray detector an X-ray emitted from the X-ray source; instructions for determining a position of the endoscope in the subject based on the X-ray image; instructions for controlling the X-ray source to emit an X-ray to capture a next X-ray image of the endoscope based on the determined position of the endoscope; and instructions for controlling to display on a display unit the endoscopic image together with the next X-ray image.
