A method of controlling an X-ray image capturing apparatus, including acquiring, using a camera, a first image by photographing a detector configured to receive X-rays emitted from an X-ray emission surface, generating a second image by performing a correction on the first image, wherein the correction includes changing a first detector shape in the first image to match a second detector shape photographed in a direction perpendicular to the X-ray emission surface, and displaying the second image.

A medical image diagnostic system of an embodiment includes a processing circuit which is configured to control transition between a plurality of steps included in a workflow for examining a subject. The processing circuit is configured to acquire first information representing a preparation state of the subject in a first step among the plurality of steps, is configured to acquire second information representing permission for transition from the first step to a second step, and is configured to control transition from the first step to the second step on the basis of the first information and the second information.

A medical image diagnosis system according to an embodiment includes a sensor and a processing circuitry. The sensor is configured to detect whether or not a mobile terminal is mounted on a mount base capable of having the mobile terminal mounted thereon. The processing circuitry is configured, when it is detected that the mobile terminal is mounted on the mount base, to exercise control over a medical image diagnosis apparatus.

Provided is an X-ray fluoroscopic imaging apparatus capable of more assuredly preventing operation control not intended by an operator. A console includes a first operation lever and a second operation lever. The first operation lever includes a main body tiltable in an x-direction or a y-direction and a rotation portion rotatable about a long axis of the first operation lever. The operation of rotating C-arm about the x-axis or the y-axis is controlled by the tilting operation of the main body, and the operation of controlling the approaching movement or the separating movement of the X-ray detector is controlled depending on a rotation direction and a rotation amount of the rotation portion. The second operation lever controls the operation of translating the C-arm in the x-direction or the y-direction.

An apparatus and related method for supporting X-ray imaging. The apparatus comprises an input interface (IN) for receiving an X-radiation scatter measurement obtained by an X-ray sensor (SX.sub.i) during operation of an X-ray imager (XI) for imaging a first object (PAT). A predictor component (PC) is configured to predict, based on said measurement, whether or not: i) a second object (P) is present, or ii) there is sufficient X-ray exposure of said first object (PAT). The apparatus comprises an output interface (OUT) for outputting a predictor signal indicative of an outcome of said prediction.
