  • Publication number: 20220375076
    Abstract: A console of a mobile radiography apparatus includes a CPU that acquires a fluoroscopic image captured by a radiation detector and a visible light image captured by a visible light camera as a moving image related to the capture of the fluoroscopic image of a subject by the mobile radiography apparatus. The CPU extracts a frame to be subjected to a support process, which is a diagnosis support process or an imaging support process, from the moving image. A GPU executes the support process for the extracted frame.

  • Patent number: 11471121
    Abstract: The radiography apparatus is driven by power supplied from the battery. In the radiography apparatus, a radiation source that emits radiation to a subject, a radiation detector that receives the radiation transmitted through the subject and outputs a radiographic image, and an image processing device that performs image processing on the radiographic image are integrated. A CPU of the image processing device acquires a remaining level of the battery. The CPU performs control to operate both a first processing block that performs a noise suppression process and a visibility improvement process as first image processing and a second processing block that performs a density correction process as second image processing in a case in which the remaining level of the battery is equal to or greater than a threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11272899
    Abstract: A CPU and an FPGA of the imaging control device receive first identification information and a preparation completion signal indicating that preparation for receiving radiation has been completed from a radiation detector and transmit the first identification information and irradiation conditions of the radiation associated with the first identification information to a radiation generation unit. Then, the CPU and the FPGA receive, from the radiation generation unit, second identification information copied from the first identification information by the radiation generation unit in a case in which irradiation with radiation has succeeded. Then, the CPU and the FPGA collate the first identification information and the second identification information, and determine whether or not to perform automatic brightness control, which sets a brightness level of the radiographic image to a prescribed level and updates the irradiation conditions on the basis of the radiographic image, according to a collation result.

  • Patent number: 9045164
    Abstract: A vehicle body structure includes a floor fabricated of resin, a pillar fabricated of resin, and a connecting member. The floor is disposed at a vehicle body lower side. The pillar is disposed so as to extend in a vehicle body up-and-down direction at a vehicle width direction outer side of the floor. The connecting member connects the pillar with the floor, and is constituted of a material with higher ductility than the pillar and the floor. Thus, a withstand load strength of a joining portion between the pillar and the floor is assured.
