Abstract
A radiography device that can be applied to even general-purpose scattered radiation removing means, capable of producing appropriate radiation images that are independently of the status of installation of scattered radiation removing means. A pixel specifying portion specifies particular pixels of the various pixels that comprise an x-ray image. An intensity estimating portion estimates the scattered x-ray intensities (scattered radiation intensities) at the particular pixels specified by the pixel specifying portion and/or the direct x-ray intensities (the direct radiation intensities) of the particular pixels. Consequently, it is possible to estimate appropriately the scattered x-ray intensities and/or direct x-ray intensities at the particular pixels in consideration of the status of installation of a grid (scattered radiation removing means).
