Claim One:
1. A radiographic imaging device comprising: a radiation generating device; a scattered ray removing grid, disposed so that radiation passing through an examination object is incident therein, wherein portions with high radiation absorbency and portions with low radiation absorbency are arrayed alternatingly in parallel; a radiation detecting device, disposed so that radiation that passed through the scattered ray removing grid is incident therein, wherein the spatial sampling period of the vertical and/or horizontal direction that cuts across a grid pattern is equal to that of the grid pattern; grid frequency component eliminating processer performing a process for eliminating a grid frequency component from an original image that has been detected and acquired by the radiation detecting device through the scattered ray removing grid; wherein: the grid frequency component eliminating processer comprises: a band-pass filter producing a band-pass grid image through band-pass extraction from the original image by performing a band-pass process on the original image in a direction that cuts across the grid pattern perpendicularly; a high-pass filter producing a high-pass grid image through high-pass extraction from the original image by performing a high-pass process on the original image in a direction that cuts across the grid pattern perpendicularly, to pass high frequency components of the grid pattern that are extracted by the high-pass process by the high-pass filter; a first differencing engine taking a difference between the band-pass grid image and the high-pass grid image; a low-pass filter producing a difference grid image from the grid frequency components that were not extracted completely in the band-pass through performing a low-pass process, on the difference image, in a direction that is parallel to the grid pattern; an adding device producing separately a band-pass+difference grid image by adding the difference grid image to the band-pass grid image; and a second differencing engine subtracting the band-pass+difference grid image from the original image.
