Summary:To solve the problem in which bending a flexible x-ray detector to image a curved structure or object distorts the object appearance when compared to an image captured by a flat/rigid detector.SOLUTION: An image distortion of this type can be corrected when the shape (relative bend position) of the x-ray detector is known. Incorporating strain sensors 502, 504 on the flexible x-ray detector makes it possible to record the local bend of the flexible x-ray detector when an image is taken. This shape information can be used to either label or correct for the image distortions created by bending the x-ray detector to assist users more accustomed to viewing images produced by flat/rigid x-ray detectors.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】可撓性Ｘ線検出器を屈曲させて、湾曲した構造体又は物体を撮像することは、平坦／剛性の検出器によって取り込まれた画像と比較して、物体の外観を歪ませることになる。【解決手段】このタイプの画像歪みは、Ｘ線検出器の形状（相対屈曲位置）が既知であるときに補正され得る。可撓性Ｘ線検出器上にひずみセンサ５０２、５０４を組み込むことにより、画像が撮影されたときに可撓性Ｘ線検出器の局所的な屈曲を記録することが可能になる。この形状情報を使用して、Ｘ線検出器を屈曲させることで生じる画像歪みの標識化又は補正のいずれかを行い、平坦／剛性のＸ線検出器によって生成された画像を閲覧することにより慣れているユーザーを補助することができる。【選択図】図５
