IMAGE-PROCESSING DEVICE, DIAGNOSTIC X-RAY APPARATUS AND POSITIONING METHOD

摘要

The image-processing device (100) of an embodiment is provided with an acquisition section (151) and a specifying section (152). The acquisition section (151) acquires information on the relative positions of an imaging space in which images of a subject are taken by a diagnostic X-ray apparatus and a scanning space in which the subject is scanned by an ultrasound probe. On the basis of the relative position information acquired by the acquisition section (151), the specifying section (152) specifies a position in the imaging space that is roughly the same as the position scanned by the ultrasound probe. Here, the acquisition section (151) acquires the relative position information on the basis of an X-ray image taken by the diagnostic X-ray apparatus.
