Abstract

In an X-ray diagnostic apparatus, it is very desirable to mitigate the adverse effect of the scattered X-ray components. When the X-ray shield member is positioned in the X-ray projection area during the first X-ray projection period, the first X-ray transmission image data is obtained. From this X-ray transmission image data, the scattered X-ray component data is calculated in the interpolation method of a SINC function. When the X-ray shield member is removed from the X-ray projection area during the second X-ray projection period, the second X-ray transmission image data is obtained that includes not only the primary X-ray components but also the scattered X-ray components. The desirable X-ray transmission image data is obtained by subtracting the first image data from the second image data.
