Abstract
An image processing apparatus and a radiation tomography apparatus capable of acquiring a tomographic image of high visibility are provided. The image processing apparatus initially generates a map m showing an extending direction of a linear structural object seen in an original image P. Then, the apparatus generates an extrapolated image Pby adding the area positioned at the side section of the original image Pto the side section so as to extend the linear structural object seen in the side section by referring to the map m. By adding the side section to the original image Pwhile shifting the pattern of the side section so as to extend the linear structural object seen in the side section of the image, the subject image can be naturally compensated. After this operation, by generating the tomographic image D, a tomographic image D having improved visibility can be generated.
