Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and image processing system

Abstract

There is provided an image processing apparatus including a processing unit configured to processes projection data in which X-ray detection data representing a detection result of parallel beam X-rays output from an X-ray source has been converted by projection, and form an X-ray image based on the X-ray detection data.

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
 circuitry configured to:
 process projection data in which X-ray detection data representing a detection result of X-ray beam output from an X-ray source through a layer of a target has been converted by projection; and 
 form reconstruction data from the processed projection data corresponding to the layer. 
   
     
     
         2 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to divide the projection data and form the reconstruction data for each piece of the divided projection data. 
     
     
         3 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to form an X-ray image based on the reconstruction data each time the projection data is acquired. 
     
     
         4 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:
 detect the X-ray beam, generate the X-ray detection data, and convert the generated X-ray detection data into the projection data by projection, and   process the converted projection data.   
     
     
         5 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:
 detect parallel X-ray beam and generate the X-ray detection data based on the detected parallel X-ray beam.   
     
     
         6 . The information processing apparatus according to  claim 4 , further comprising:
 an X-ray output unit that includes the X-ray source for outputting the X-ray beam.   
     
     
         7 . An information processing method comprising:
 processing projection data in which X-ray detection data representing a detection result of X-ray beam output from an X-ray source through a layer of a target has been converted by projection and forming reconstruction data from the projection data corresponding to the layer.   
     
     
         8 . An information processing system comprising:
 an X-ray output apparatus that includes an X-ray source for outputting X-ray beam; and   circuitry configured to:   detect X-ray beam, generate X-ray detection data representing a detection result of the X-ray beam through a layer of a target, and convert the generated X-ray detection data corresponding to the layer into projection data by projection; and   process the projection data and form reconstruction data from the projection data corresponding to the layer.
