Abstract
An X-ray hybrid diagnosis system includes a single power supply, an X-ray radiography unit, an X-ray CT unit, and a single control console. The single power supply powers X-ray CR system having first X-ray tube and X-ray CT system having second X-ray tube. The X-ray radiography unit irradiates a subject with X-rays from first X-ray tube to obtain an X-ray radiographic image. The X-ray CT unit irradiates the subject with X-rays from the second X-ray tube and acquires projection data from a beam of the X-rays that has passed through the subject, to reconstruct an image using the acquired projection data, and to obtain a tomographic image. The single control console controls the X-ray radiography unit and the X-ray CT unit.
