Abstract:
An image processing apparatus comprising:an X-ray irradiation unit which irradiates X-rays; one or more X-ray sensor units each of which includes an X-ray sensor which converts the X-rays into an electric signal; selection means for selecting the X-ray sensor units; information obtaining means for obtaining information for a sensing environment; memory means for storing correction data corresponding to the information for the sensing environment; and correction means for correcting outputs of said X-ray sensor units using the correction data corresponding to the information obtained by said information obtaining means, wherein, in a case in which said memory means does not have stored therein correction data corresponding to the information obtained by said information obtaining means, said correction means selects the correction data from among the correction data stored in said memory means, on the basis of one of a serial number of the X-ray sensor and a lot number of the X-ray sensor, to effect the correction using the selected correction data.
