According to one embodiment, a medical image diagnosis system includes a plurality of devices, operating circuitry, processing circuitry, and a display. The plurality of devices is to be inserted into a body of an object. The operating circuitry operates at least one of the devices. The processing circuitry obtains a medical image of the object and specifies a device being operated based on movement of the device in the medical image when the device is being operated by the operating circuitry. The display identifiably displays a device to be operated by the operating circuitry based on a result of specification by the processing circuitry.

X-ray diagnosis apparatus and medical image diagnosis system for specifying a device being currently operated

According to one embodiment, an X-ray diagnostic apparatus includes an X-ray movable diaphragm and processing circuitry. The X-ray movable diaphragm limits an irradiation field of an X-ray. The processing circuitry sets an FOV size related to the irradiation field, sets a virtual field of view having the FOV size, the virtual field of view being able to include an outside region of an X-ray detection region and at least a part of the X-ray detection region, and controls the X-ray movable diaphragm so as to apply the X-ray to a common region between the virtual field of view and the X-ray detection region.

X-ray diagnostic apparatus

A mammographic apparatus that includes X-ray detectors configured to detect X-rays entering the X-ray detectors, and attached to a holding-arm placed on a floor. The mammographic apparatus further includes circuitry configured to move the X-ray detectors between a scanning position and a waiting position. The X-ray detectors in the scanning position face an X-ray tube that generates X-rays across a breast-table, and the X-ray detectors in the waiting position are closer to the holding-arm than are the X-ray detectors in the scanning position.
