Mammography apparatus, image processing apparatus, and image processing method

摘要

A mammography apparatus has a determination unit, a setting unit, a generating unit and a display unit. The determination unit determines whether a radiographic image of a breast contains an implant part based on a pixel value distribution in a predetermined region concerning data of the radiographic image. The setting unit changes a setting of a parameter for a tone conversion process based on a determination made by the determination unit. The generating unit generates a display image based on the radiographic image by application of the parameter. The display unit displays the display image.

主权项

1. A mammography apparatus, comprising a processing circuit configured to:
determine whether a breast region of a radiographic image including a breast therein contains an implant part or not on a basis of a pixel value distribution in a predetermined region concerning data of the radiographic image; set, when it is determined that the breast region therein contains the implant part, a minimum pixel value in a tone conversion process, the minimum pixel value being larger than a pixel value of the implant part; and display the radiographic image as a display image adapted in accordance with the set minimum pixel value and a maximum pixel value in the tone conversation process.
