Abstract
An X-ray image capturing device of bone-in meat for capturing an X-ray image of the bone-in meat that is from an arm part or a thigh part of a livestock carcass in a state where the bone-in meat is suspended, comprises: an X-ray source for irradiating the bone-in meat with an X-ray; a shielding box for covering the bone-in meat while the X-ray image is captured; a sensor which is disposed in the shielding box and which detects the X-ray which passes through the bone-in meat; and a filter which is disposed between the bone-in meat and the X-ray source and which adjusts an intensity distribution of the X-ray with which the bone-in meat is irradiated.
