Abstract
A radiographic imaging apparatus includes an imaging apparatus and a hardware processor. The imaging apparatus obtains moire fringe images for generating a reconstruction image of a subject by using a Talbot-Lau interferometer comprising a radiation source, a multiple slit, a first grating, a second grating and a radiation detector. The hardware processor performs a control to satisfy relations (i) φ≥(1/2)×(R/R)×d>φ×0.7, (ii) 1≤φ≤10 (μm), and (iii) 0.5≤(R/R)≤1. φ is a particle size of a microbubble contrast agent to be used in imaging. dis a slit period of the first grating. Ris a distance between the multiple slit and the first grating. Ris a distance between the multiple slit and the subject.
