Patent ID: 8406492

Claim:
An image detecting system comprising: an image detecting section configured for detecting a moving image of an examination subject into which a radiopaque contrast medium flows through one of an hepatic artery and a hepatic portal vein; and a change image generating section configured for generating a change image representing a change in the moving image, the change being caused by movement of the radiopaque contrast medium after a timing at which the radiopaque contrast medium that has flown into one of the artery and the portal vein flows into capillaries; wherein the change image generating section is configured for generating (i) a change image when the radiopaque contrast medium flows into the examination subject through the artery and (ii) a change image when the radiopaque contrast medium flows into the examination subject through the portal vein, and the image detecting system further comprises an image processing apparatus that is configured to cause a display section to display the change images generated by the change image generating section, to emphasize a difference between (i) the change image when the radiopaque contrast medium flows into the examination subject through the artery and (ii) the change image when the radiopaque contrast medium flows into the examination subject through the portal vein by displaying a differential image between (i) the change image when the radiopaque contrast medium flows into the examination subject through the artery and (ii) the change image when the radiopaque contrast medium flows into the examination subject through the portal vein generated by the change image generating section.
