An operation device comprises a detector configured to detect an operation on a virtual switch by an operator to operate an X-ray irradiation in an X-ray diagnosis apparatus, wherein the virtual switch is virtually set at a position settled relatively with respect to the operator and output circuitry configured to output a detection result of the operation detected by the detector to the X-ray diagnosis apparatus to be operated. This device eliminates the need for looking away from a display monitor every time the operator operates the X-ray diagnosis apparatus.

Operation device and X-ray diagnosis system

According to an embodiment, a medical image diagnostic apparatus includes a switch and processing circuitry. The switch includes a detachable grip portion. The processing circuitry is configured to assign a function to the switch based on a type of the grip portion.

Medical image diagnostic apparatus, X-ray diagnostic apparatus, and console device for X-ray diagnostic apparatus

According to one embodiment, an X-ray diagnosis apparatus includes an X-ray tube, a diaphragm mechanism, an X-ray detector, image generating circuitry, a display, a first interface, a second interface, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry controls the diaphragm mechanism and the X-ray tube according to the operation to the first interface so that the X-rays are radiated to a first radiation range, and controls the diaphragm mechanism and the X-ray tube according to the operation to the second interface so that the X-rays are radiated to a second radiation range. The processing circuitry controls the display so that the first display area displays the X-ray images sequentially generated according to radiation of the X-rays, in parallel with the radiation.

X-ray diagnosis apparatus

According to an X-ray diagnostic apparatus, an X-ray tube radiates X-rays. An X-ray collimator adjusts an irradiation region of the X-rays. An X-ray detector includes a first detector and a second detector having a smaller detection area than a detection area of the first detector. The X-ray detector is able to detect the X-rays radiated with the first detector and the second detector at the same time. Processing circuitry generates a synthesized image obtained by synthesizing a first X-ray image generated based on an output from the first detector that detected the X-rays radiated in the irradiation region adjusted, and a second X-ray image generated based on an output from the second detector that detected the X-rays radiated in the irradiation region adjusted, the synthesized image having an image size corresponding to an aspect ratio of the irradiation region. The processing circuitry causes a display to display the synthesized image.

X-ray diagnostic apparatus and display method

An X-ray diagnostic apparatus includes an imaging unit, a moving mechanism unit, a modeling unit and a mechanism controller. The imaging unit includes an X-ray generating device which generates X-rays for irradiation of an object put on a table-top and an X-ray detecting device which detects the X-rays. The moving mechanism unit moves the table-top and the imaging unit. The modeling unit displays a table-top model representing the table-top and an imaging unit model representing the imaging unit on a display unit, and moves at least one of the table-top model and the imaging unit model on the display unit, in response to an operation of moving at least one of the table-top model and the imaging unit model. The mechanism controller controls the moving mechanism unit to move the table-top and the imaging unit in accordance with positions of the table-top model and the imaging unit model.

X-ray diagnostic apparatus

An X-ray diagnostic apparatus according to an embodiment includes a generating unit and a display controller. The generating unit generates a diagram illustrating the angle information of an arm. The display controller performs display control to visualize, together with the diagram generated by the generating unit, at least one of information showing the status of the arm when the arm is at an angle illustrated in the diagram and information showing the status of a subject to be imaged when the arm is at the angle illustrated in the diagram.
