The invention discloses a correcting device and method for X-
ray image digital measurement. The correcting device comprises a base, a longitudinal supporting rod, a transverse supporting rod, a straight edge and two
metal balls, wherein the longitudinal supporting rod is fixed on the base; the longitudinal supporting rod and the transverse supporting rod are connected and can slide mutually, and the transverse supporting rod can rotate in the horizontal plane and the
vertical plane; the straight edge is connected with one end of the transverse supporting rod, and the straight edge can rotate in the horizontal plane and the
vertical plane; the two
metal balls are respectively arranged at one end of the straight edge, and the centers of the two
metal balls coincide with the calibration starting point and the calibration ending point of the straight edge respectively; the straight edge is made of plastic and is provided with metal calibrations. According to the correcting device for the X-
ray image digital measurement, a reference substance of the balls is provided, so that the measurement errors caused by different
irradiation directions due to non-sphere shape characteristics are eliminated, the computation of
magnification can be more simplified, and more accurate
magnification can be obtained. According to the correcting device and method for the X-
ray image digital measurement, the
femoral head and
femoral neck can be conveniently and accurately measured.
