ABSTRACT:
A correction table unit (5) contains correction tables for correcting output values of image data of the first image, the second image, . . . , the n-th image successively output from an X-ray plane detector (4) of a radiographic image diagnosis device and having different output rise characteristics. After correction of the image data, the second image data is subtracted from the first image data, . . . , and the n-th image data is subtracted from the first image data by a subtraction unit (8). As a result, a subtraction image, i.e., an angiographic image is displayed on display means (9). Since the affect of the different rise characteristics of each image data is eliminated, it is possible to obtain an angiographic image having a uniform background brightness and a preferable contrast.
