BONE DENSITY MEASURING DEVICE AND BONE DENSITY IMAGING METHOD

A bone density measuring apparatus and a bone density imaging method capable of improving the accuracy of a bone density analysis are provided. In a state in which no subject is present, a detector detects X-rays emitted from an X-ray tube under a high tube voltage X-ray condition/a low tube voltage X-ray condition and a first gain correction map/a second gain correction map is generated (S1, S2). A detector detects the X-rays emitted from an X-ray tube and transmitted through a subject under a high tube voltage X-ray condition/a low tube voltage X-ray condition, and a high voltage image/a low voltage image captured by the detector is generated (S3). By performing a gain correction of the high voltage image using the first gain correction map, performing a gain correction of the low voltage image using the second gain correction map (S4), and performing a subtraction of the high voltage image after the gain correction and the low voltage image after the gain correction (S5), the accuracy of the bone density analysis can be improved.
