Abstract
An image generating device for generating an image which is an X-ray image of an area including a bone portion of a subject with the bone portion removed has a control unitincluding: a DRR imagerconfigured to generate a first DRR image of an area including a bone portion and a second DRR image showing the bone portion, by performing, for a set of CT image data of an area including the bone portion of a subject, a virtual fluoroscopic projection simulating a geometric fluoroscopy condition of an X-ray irradiator and an X-ray detector for the subject; a training sectionconfigured to generate a machine learning model for recognizing the bone portion, by performing machine learning using the first DRR image and the second DRR image serving as a training image; an image converterconfigured to perform conversion of the X-ray image of the area including the bone portion of the subject, using the machine learning model trained in the training section, to generate an image showing the bone portion; and a bone portion subtractorconfigured to subtract the image showing the bone portion from the X-ray image of the area including the bone portion of the subject.
