Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes an image acquisition unit configured to acquire an image captured according to a predetermined image capturing method, an anomalous pixel acquisition unit configured to acquire an anomalous pixel occurring according to an image capturing method different from the predetermined image capturing method, and a display control unit configured to cause the acquired anomalous pixel to be displayed together with the captured image.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An image display apparatus comprising:
 an image acquisition unit configured to acquire a radiation image of a subject to be acquired in each of a plurality of image capturing modes for capturing an image of the subject;   a defect acquisition unit configured to acquire a position of a defective pixel appearing in a radiation image captured in a first image capturing mode of the plurality of image capturing modes; and   a display control unit configured to cause a display unit to display the radiation image acquired in each of the plurality of image capturing modes and to display the acquired position of the defective image appearing in the radiation image captured in the first image capturing mode together with a radiation image of the subject captured in a second image capturing mode of the plurality of image capturing modes.   
     
     
         2 . The image display apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the display control unit is configured to cause the display unit to display the acquired position of the defective pixel overlapped on the radiation image of the subject captured in the second image capturing mode. 
     
     
         3 . The image display apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the display control unit is configured to cause the display unit to display a defective pixel appearing not in the radiation image of the subject captured in the first image capturing mode but in the radiation image of the subject captured in the second image capturing mode on the radiation image of the subject captured in the second capturing mode. 
     
     
         4 . The image display apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the defect acquisition unit is configured to receive information indicating the position of the defective pixel appearing in the radiation image captured in the first image capturing mode from a radiation detector. 
     
     
         5 . The image display apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an instruction unit configured to issue an instruction for an operation in a predetermined image capturing mode.   
     
     
         6 . The image display apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a designation unit configured to designate a region of the radiation image of the subject captured in the second image capturing mode.   
     
     
         7 . The image display apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the display control unit is configured to cause the display unit to display a defective pixel in the designated region and a defective pixel outside the designated region in different formats from each other. 
     
     
         8 . The image display apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a determination unit configured to determine an adjustment amount to adjust a positional relation between the radiation detector configured to capture a radiation image and the subject.   
     
     
         9 . The image display apparatus according to  claim 8 , further comprising:
 a designation unit configured to designate a region of the radiation image of the subject captured in the second image capturing mode,   wherein the determination unit is configured to determine the adjustment amount so that a number of defective pixels in the designated region is decreased.   
     
     
         10 . The image display apparatus according to  claim 8 , wherein the display control unit is configured to cause the display unit the determined adjustment amount. 
     
     
         11 . The image display apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the display control unit is configured to cause the display unit to display an icon to receive an operation input for adjusting the positional relation between the radiation detector configured to capture a radiation image and the subject. 
     
     
         12 . The image display apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an adjustment unit configured to adjust the positional relation between the radiation detector configured to capture a radiation image and the subject.   
     
     
         13 . The image display apparatus according to  claim 12 , wherein the adjustment unit is configured to move the radiation detector. 
     
     
         14 . The image display apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the first image capturing mode is a still image capturing mode and the second image capturing mode is a moving image capturing mode. 
     
     
         15 . A radiation image capturing apparatus comprising:
 the image display apparatus according to  claim 1 ;   a display unit;   a radiation detector configured to detect a radiation and capture a radiation image.   
     
     
         16 . A radiation image capturing apparatus comprising:
 the image display apparatus according to  claim 1 ;   a radiation generation unit configured to generate radiation.   
     
     
         17 . A control method of causing a display unit to display an image, the control method comprising:
 acquiring a radiation image of a subject to be acquired in each of a plurality of image capturing modes for capturing an image of the subject;   acquiring a position of a defective pixel appearing in a radiation image captured in a first image capturing mode of the plurality of image capturing modes;   causing a display unit to display the radiation image acquired in each of the plurality of image capturing modes; and   causing the display unit to display the acquired position of the defective image appearing in the radiation image captured in the first image capturing mode together with a radiation image of the subject captured in a second image capturing mode of the plurality of image capturing modes.   
     
     
         18 . A non-transitory recording medium storing a program to cause a computer to execute the control method according to  claim 17 .
