Abstract

PURPOSE:To form >=2 kinds of X-ray images having each different quality, on an image receiving body, by simple constitution, by placing a means for giving a transmission characteristic which is different from X-ray transmission characteristics, in an advancing path, and superposing and forming X-ray images having plural qualities. CONSTITUTION:At each instantaneous time of irradiation of X-rays, X-rays irradiate a person to be inspected, from both parts A, B of a disk 11, and it is repeated alternately in the course of an operation time. Subsequently, the quality is alternated in order, X-rays which have transmitted the person to be inspected P energize sensitizing screens 3 and 5, emit fluorescent light, and expose a sheet film 15 from before and behind, therefore, on the film, an image on which X-rays passing through the part A have been indicated clearly, and an image which has passed through the part B and on which X-rays having different qualities have been indicated clearly are superposed and formed. An X-ray film obtained in this way becomes equal to that which is superposed a photograph exposed by 2 kinds of X-rays having each different quality.

P indicates the subject. 2 is a front intensifying screen, 4 is a sheet film for direct photography coated with emulsion on both sides, and 5 is a rear intensifying screen. When X-rays are emitted from the X-ray tube 1 in this arrangement, the X-rays that have passed through the subject 2 are converted into fluorescent light to which the film is sensitive by the intensifying screens 3 and 5, and are exposed on the film 4.

On the other hand, when X-ray photography is performed, the X
The X** lines appearing on the film differ depending on the quality of the lines. For example, when exposed to so-called hard X-rays, tissues such as bones are clearly visible, but soft tissues are crushed and cannot be seen. Furthermore, when soft X-rays are applied, tissues such as bones cannot be seen, but the photograph shows the soft tissues themselves. Therefore, if a photograph showing both Xl1K radiation with different radiation quality could be obtained, it would be extremely useful for diagnosis.

A single-phase full-wave rectified voltage is applied to the No. 11 Fi X-ray tube. In the t2Fi filtering disk, as shown in the plan view in FIG. 4, divided sections are lined up in a layered manner from the center, and adjacent sections A and B have different X-ray transmission characteristics. A part of this disk 120 is placed across the path of the X-rays, and parts with different X-ray transmission characteristics are placed on an acrylic or aluminum plate with metal foil made of lead, tungsten, etc. can be made. 13ij
It is a high-speed rotating motor, and its rotating shaft is connected to the disc 12 to rotate the disc 12, and the rotational speed of the disc is determined so that it rotates many times during the X-ray exposure time.

14 is a front intensifying screen, 15 is a sheet film coated with emulsion on both sides, and 16 is a rear intensifying screen, which are superimposed and placed close to the subject PK. With the above configuration, when the motor 13 is driven and the rotation of the disk 12 reaches a steady state, when power is supplied to the X-ray tube 11 and X-rays are emitted, the instantaneous EX-rays during the Xl1l exposure time are Disk 1
The patient P is exposed to X-rays through part 1, and the next moment the patient is exposed to nine X-rays with a different radiation quality from part B. , this is repeated alternately during the operating time. The quality of the rays is then alternated, and the X-rays that have passed through the subject P excites both intensifying screens 3 and 5 to generate fluorescent light, which exposes the sheet film 15 from the front and back. Therefore, on the film, there is a superimposed image of the area that is clearly represented by the X-rays that have passed through the part B and the line that is clearly represented by the X-rays that have passed through part B and have a different radiation quality.

In this embodiment, the disk is divided into two parts, but if it is divided into even more parts, a superimposed image of nine photographs taken with various types of X-rays of different radiation quality can be obtained. Alternatively, one fan-shaped part on the disc may emit an X-ray tube, pass +XS until that point, and the other part may block a specific wavelength range of X-rays, or each part may have a metal foil pasted on one side. By appropriately changing the area ratio of the portions where the values are different or larger, it is possible to change the density ratio of the superimposed photographs, and it is possible to obtain photographs useful for special diagnosis. Note that the filtering means is not limited to a disk; the flat plate may be inserted into and removed from the X-ray path by reciprocating at high speed.The embodiment described above applies the present invention to direct X-ray imaging. This is an example of X@<Ra indirect photography, X-ray 1.1. Indirect shot, X? @Can be applied to electronic photography, etc.
