Patent ID: 7050537

Claim:
A radiographic apparatus for imaging a dynamic state of a human body, comprising: an X-ray generating means for generating an X-ray; a first indication means for guiding the human to perform cyclical movement with a dynamic state guiding indication using a perceivable pattern which is repeated with a predetermined timing; an image acquisition means for acquiring X-ray image data constituting a plurality of X-ray images of the human body; a control means for synchronizing said image acquisition with the dynamic state guiding indication and attaching to each of the images information representing dynamic state phase based on the dynamic state guiding indication; a storage means for storing the number of cycles of dynamic state and/or number of cycles of guiding dynamic state; a phase analysis means for analyzing the image data by extracting a measurement of an anatomical feature in the image data; a determination means for determining if an analyzed phase of at least part of dynamic images matches the respective dynamic state phase in the information concerning dynamic state guiding indication attached to the image data; a modification means for correcting the phase information attached to the image data and/or rearranging the dynamic images based on the phase information obtained by the analysis of all the dynamic images, if the determination means concludes the phases do not match; and a second indication means for displaying dynamic images based on the image data using a display method in accordance with the attached information.
