Disclosed is a way to provide a medical image processing device that may include a hardware processor that calculates at least one of trabecular connectivity, trabecular width, trabecular number, mineralization degree, osteoid volume, cortical width, and cortical porosity as a bone characteristic indicator of a subject from reconstructed image data generated from moir&#xe9; image data acquired by photographing the subject.

Device and system for determining a bone strength indicator

An X-ray imaging system includes an X-ray Talbot imaging device and an image processing device. The image processing device includes a hardware processor and a display. The hardware processor generates multiple types of reconstructed images based on each of moire images having different subject set angles captured by the X-ray Talbot imaging device; groups the reconstructed images by subject set angle and by type; detects, in each reconstructed image, a grating direction of the gratings and the subject set angle relevant to the grating direction; matches an image direction in each of the grouped reconstructed images with a reference direction based on the grating direction and the subject set angle; performs a same image adjustment process on the grouped reconstructed images; and causes the display to display the reconstructed images grouped by subject set angle or by type.

X-ray imaging system

A digital radiation image radiographing system includes an X-ray tube to irradiate a radiographic subject with X-rays and a digital detector to detect X-rays having passed through the radiographic subject, and performs a phase contrast radiography. The system satisfies a formula (D&#x2267;(S&#x2212;E)/(M&#x2212;)), in which D (&#x3bc;m) represents the focal size of the X-ray tube, S (&#x3bc;m) represents the minimum control unit of the digital detector, R(m) represents a distance from the focus point of the X-ray tube to the radiographic subject, R(m) represents a distance from the radiographic subject to the digital detector, M represents an enlargement ratio (M=(R+R)/R), and E represents an edge enhancement width according to X-ray refraction.

Digital radiation image radiographing system

Radiation image photographing apparatus equipped with radiation source irradiating subject with radiation, detector holding part holding radiation image detector that detects radiation that is emitted from radiation source and is transmitted through subject, subject table that is arranged between the radiation source and detector holding part and holds subject, and with holding device that holds the radiation source, the subject table and the detector holding part so that phase contrast image may be generated, wherein an edge portion of the subject table is protruded toward the opposite side of the holding device beyond the edge portion of the detector holding part.

Radiation image photographing apparatus

A radiation image detector for detecting an irradiated radiation and for obtaining radiation image information, includes: an image generation mode; and a plurality of image generation standby modes, wherein the plurality of image generation standby modes includes: a first standby mode having electric power consumption amount at least lower than electric power consumption amount of the image generation mode; and a second standby mode having electric power consumption amount lower than the electric power consumption amount of the first standby mode, and the radiation image detector includes a switching section for switching among the image generation mode and the plurality of image generation standby modes.
