Abstract
A radiographic image processing apparatus comprises: an input means for inputting a corresponding point and a corresponding direction with respect to each of plural radiographic images respectively having mutually overlapping areas; a parallel shift means for parallel shifting at least any one of the plural radiographic images so that the corresponding points of these images coincide with others; a rotational shift means for rotationally shifting at least any one of the plural radiographic images so that the corresponding directions of these images coincide with others; and an image synthesis means for synthesizing the plural radiographic images by using the radiographic image shifted by the parallel shift means and the rotational shift means. Thus, it is possible to easily and surely connect plural radiographic images with others by appropriately performing parallel and rotational shifts of these images.
