Patent number: 11991812Abstract: A radiation imaging system includes a radiation source and a notifying unit. The radiation source is for still image shooting and moving image shooting performed by the radiation imaging system to obtain image data of a subject. The notifying unit notifies whether a type of imaging to be performed is the still image shooting or the moving image shooting in a mode in which the type is instinctively recognizable by at least one of sense of sight, sense of hearing, and sense of touch.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2022Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: KONICA MINOLTA, INC.Inventors: Yuuichi Nishijima, Tetsu Hosoki, Nobuyuki Miyake

Patent number: 11793479Abstract: A radiographic image capturing apparatus includes: a two-dimensional array of radiation detecting elements that generate one or more electric charges in proportion to a dose of incident radiation; and a control unit that performs control, at least, to read the electric charges from the radiation detecting elements and generate image data. An image capturing mode is switchable between a controlled mode in which the radiographic image capturing apparatus is under control of an external console and a stand-alone mode in which the radiographic image capturing apparatus autonomously performs image capturing without the control of the console. When the image capturing mode is switched to the controlled mode or the stand-alone mode, the control unit changes its own process so as to meet the switched image capturing mode.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: KONICA MINOLTA INC.Inventors: Akira Hiroshige, Wataru Matsushita, Nobuyuki Miyake, Hidetake Tezuka, Tetsu Hosoki, Tomonori Gido

Patent number: 11484280Abstract: A radiographic image capturing system is described. If a hardware processor determines that an image processor and an image analyzing unit are capable of sharing image data via an identical memory, the image processor stores image data in the memory and the image analyzing unit analyzes the image data with reference to the memory. If the hardware processor determines that the image processor and the image analyzing unit can send and receive the data via a wired network, the image processor transfers the data to the image analyzing unit, and the image analyzing unit analyzes the data. If the hardware processor determines that the image processor and the image analyzing unit can send and receive the data via a wireless network, the image processor compresses the data or decimates partial data and transfers the data to the image analyzing unit, and the image analyzing unit decompresses and analyzes the data.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Konica Minolta, Inc.Inventors: Masahiro Kuwata, Hidetake Tezuka, Satoshi Komiya, Nobuyuki Miyake, Hiroyuki Nakagawa, Ichirou Hamamoto, Shintaro Muraoka, Kazuhiko Katsushima, Tomoyasu Yokoyama, Akira Hiroshige, Takanori Kakigi, Tomoya Ogawa, Tetsu Hosoki, Tomonori Gido, Makoto Sumi
