Abstract
A radiographic apparatus which can improve at high speed the picture quality of an X-ray fluoroscopic image or an X-ray radiographic image is disclosed. In a radiographic apparatus acquiring an X-ray fluoroscopic image or an X-ray radiographic image and having a scattered X-ray corrector for eliminating a scattered X-ray component from the acquired X-ray fluoroscopic image or X-ray radiographic image, the scattered X-ray corrector comprises: scattered X-ray intensity distribution function generator for generating a scattered X-ray intensity distribution function on the basis of the acquired X-ray fluoroscopic image or X-ray radiographic image; a moving average calculator for executing moving average calculation a plurality of times in each of the vertical and lateral directions of the acquired X-ray fluoroscopic image or X-ray radiographic image; a window width calculator for calculating a window width of the moving average calculation on the basis of the scattered X-ray intensity distribution function; and a difference calculator means for calculating the difference between the acquired X-ray fluoroscopic image or X-ray radiographic image and an image to which the moving average c…
