Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, in the offset correction method described above, since the offset image is obtained after X-ray irradiation (timing 712), there is a problem that the time period from X-ray irradiation to displaying the preview image ( Figure 7 T6 in ) becomes longer
Therefore, it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of offset correction
In particular, it is difficult to perform high-precision offset correction at or near the time of device start-up where the offset fluctuates

Abstract

A radiation imaging apparatus performs radiation image obtaining processing in accordance with an exposure instruction, and obtains a radiation image. Then the radiation imaging apparatus performs offset correction for the obtained radiation image, and displays it. The radiation imaging apparatus determines, in accordance with a predetermined criterion, whether or not offset images obtained by offset image obtaining processing are stable over time. Then, if it is determined that the offset images are not stable, offset correction is performed by using an offset image obtained by performing offset image obtaining processing, following the obtaining of the radiation image. If it is determined that the offset images are stable, the offset correction is performed by using an offset image obtained before the obtaining of the radiation image.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a radiation imaging apparatus and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Currently, in medical X-ray still image imaging systems, a film method is widely used. In this method, an object is irradiated with X-rays, and the transmitted X-ray images are exposed on a film. Such film methods provide functions for displaying and recording information, they allow a large area, exhibit good grayscale characteristics, and are lightweight and portable. Therefore, the film method is widely used throughout the world. However, film methods require space, labor and time due to the complexity arising from the required development process and the need to maintain long-term storage and accessibility. [0003] In recent years, hospitals have seen an increasing demand for digital X-ray images. Radiation imaging apparatuses that convert radiation into electrical signals and form images by a plurality of radiation detecti...
