X-ray tomosynthesis apparatus, image processing apparatus, and program

An X-ray tomosynthesis apparatus accurately extracts a region of a small high absorber in a subject on 2D measurement projection data. When pieces of the 2D measurement projection data for each of a plurality of projection angles are arranged in a projection angle direction, the 2D measurement projection data is shifted in a 2D plane so that part or all of a range of a high absorber region included in the 2D measurement projection data overlaps at least a range of the high absorber region included in 2D measurement projection data at an adjacent projection angle in an in-plane direction of the 2D plane. The 2D measurement projection data for each of the plurality of projection angles after shifting is arranged in the projection angle direction to obtain 3D measurement projection data, and a 3D region is obtained from a first start point by a region expansion process.

Apparatus and method for inspecting battery cells for automation of total inspection

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for inspecting battery cells for automation of total inspection. To this end, the present invention is configured such that test objects are sequentially stacked on a test object casing provided on an upper portion of a mounting stage of a main stage, images of the test objects are obtained by radiography after the test object casing is moved to a test object inspection unit, and the test objects stacked on the test object casing are unloaded to the outside after the images are obtained. Accordingly, the present invention enables total inspection to be performed on battery cells, which are the test objects, in order to quickly divide good and defective products, and solves a delay of a flow rate caused by X-ray inspection of the test object inspection unit in order to improve productivity and efficiency.
