Abstract:
A fluoroscopy apparatus that includes an illumination section including a light source for radiating illumination light and excitation light onto a subject; a fluoroscopic image acquisition section acquiring a fluoroscopic image of fluorescence generated in the subject; a return-light image acquisition section acquiring a reference image of return light returning from the subject; a distance-information acquisition section acquiring information about a distance between the return-light image acquisition section and the subject; and an image correction section correcting the fluoroscopic image by using the reference image. The image correction section sets a correction coefficient based on the distance information, generates a correction reference image or a correction fluoroscopic image by performing a power calculation for light intensity information of the reference image and/or the fluoroscopic image by using the correction coefficient as an index, and divides the correction fluoroscopic image by the correction reference image.
