Abstract

PURPOSE:To ensure easy discrimination of hardly discriminable microscopic defects by observing and comparing 2 X-ray film images displayed on the same one face of a monitor. CONSTITUTION:The 2 generally used television cameras 4 are used as photographing means to photograph each of the 2 X-ray film images. The image signals from the photographing means 4 are inputted to an image synthesizing device 6, and these outputs are inputted to the next image processing device 7 to conduct emphasizing of the outlines, smoothing, erasing, and the like, thus finishing the images, and the output signals from the device 7 are inputted to the monotor 8 to display each of the 2 emphasized X-ray film images on the same one display face of the monotor 8, thus permitting fine hardly discriminable defects to be easily and securely discriminated.
