Title:
X-RAY DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/096266
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An X-ray diagnostic device is provided with: an X-ray generation unit (1) which generates X-rays to be irradiated on a subject (P); an X-ray detection unit (2) which comprises a detector (21) for detecting the X-rays transmitted through the subject (P), and which generates X-ray transmission information; an image generation unit (7) which generates an X-ray image on the basis of the X-ray transmission information; and a lifespan sensor unit (11) which senses the lifespan of the detector on the basis of output values in the X-ray image. The lifespan sensor unit (11) is provided with: a brightness level value calculation unit (11b) which calculates the X-ray dose irradiated on the detector (21) on the basis of output values from areas of interest set on the X-ray image or the detector; a dose integration unit (11c) which adds the X-ray dose calculated by the brightness level value calculation unit (11b) to previous X-ray doses for each area of interest, and calculates the integral doses in the areas of interest; and a lifespan assessment unit (11d) which carries out a lifespan assessment for the detector (21) on the basis of the integral doses.
