[0026] figure 1 It is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the X-ray diagnostic apparatus 10 in the first embodiment of the present invention. Also in the second to sixth embodiments described later, the hardware configuration of the X-ray diagnostic apparatus 10 is the same as that of the first embodiment. Here, as an example, the constituent elements of the X-ray diagnostic apparatus 10 are divided into three, namely, a bed apparatus 20 , an X-ray generating and detecting system (X-ray generating and detecting system) 30 , and a computer system (computing system) 40 .

[0027] First, the bed apparatus 20 has a support table 21 , a top board 22 , and a top board moving mechanism 23 arranged inside the support table 21 . The subject P is placed on the top plate 22 . Here, as an example, the subject P is provided with the guide wire manipulation device 200, which will be described in the sixth embodiment.

[0028] The support table 21 supports the top p...

[0143]The second to fifth embodiments are the same as the first embodiment except for the difference in which DSA image or parameter image is used as the source for generating the composite image of the latest phase. In the second to fifth embodiments, only differences from the other embodiments will be described.

[0144] In the second embodiment, among the two images from which the composite image of the latest time phase is generated, one image is a parameter image corresponding to the latest time as in the first embodiment, and the other image is unified as the selected DSA image of 1 time phase.

[0145] Figure 7 It is a schematic diagram showing an example of a synthesized image of the latest time phase generated by synthesizing the DSA image of the selected time phase and the parameter image corresponding to the latest time in the second embodiment. Figure 7 The left side of the upper segment represents an example of a DSA image of the selected phase, Figure 7 The...

[0167] Since the third embodiment is the same as the second embodiment except for the following points, only the different points will be described. That is, in the third embodiment, one of the two images from which the composite image of the latest time phase is generated is not the DSA image of the selected one time phase, but is unified into the selected interval (temporally continuous The average image of multiple) DSA images.

[0168] In the case of the post-processing step, the user can select, via the input device 48 , a section in which a lesion candidate region such as a tumor is projected most densely due to the contrast agent.

[0169] Figure 9 It is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the X-ray diagnostic apparatus 10 in the case where the synthesized image is updated and displayed following the fluoroscopy performed in real time in the third embodiment. Here, as an example, until a section of the DSA image is selected by the user's input, it oper...

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate to an image processing device and an X-ray diagnostic apparatus enable observation of a region of a blood vessel and a branch point of a blood vessel to be more satisfactory than conventional technology. The image processing device has a parameter value acquisition part and a parameter image generating part. The parameter value acquisition part sequentially acquires image data of time-sequential DSA images of an object, and acquires a parameter value for each pixel based on temporal change of a pixel value of the each pixel corresponding to the same region of the object in the sequentially acquired image data of time-sequential DSA images. The parameter image generating part sequentially generates image data of parameter images in such a manner that identification information corresponding to the parameter value is assigned to the each pixel corresponding to the same region of the object, each time image data of a DSA image of the latest time phase being acquired.

Description

[0001] This application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-184892 (filing date: September 11, 2014), and enjoys the benefit of priority of this application. This application incorporates the entire content of this application by reference. technical field [0002] Embodiments of the present invention relate to an image processing device and an X-ray diagnostic device. Background technique [0003] As a method of obtaining blood flow information in a patient's body, fluoroscopy using a contrast medium and an X-ray diagnostic apparatus is known (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). In fluoroscopy, for example, DSA (Digital Subtraction Angiography: Digital Subtraction Angiography) images are obtained by sequentially imaging the same region of the subject with an X-ray diagnostic apparatus before and after administration of a contrast agent. Specifically, a plurality of difference images corresponding to each time phase obtained by subtracting the mask image ...
