  • Patent number: 11963816
    Abstract: A radiation image capturing system includes a capturing room and a console. The capturing room includes a bucky apparatus, a radiation irradiating apparatus and a detecting unit. A plurality of portable radiation image capturing apparatuses can be loaded on the bucky apparatus. The radiation irradiating apparatus is able to simultaneously irradiate radiation to the plurality of portable radiation image capturing apparatuses. The console is associated with the capturing room and obtains capturing order information. The console allows the portable radiation image capturing apparatuses to advance to a capturing possible state when the console judges that capturing in the capturing order information is long length capturing. The console allows only one of the portable radiation image capturing apparatuses to advance to the capturing possible state when the console judges that the capturing is not the long length capturing.

  • Patent number: 9289182
    Abstract: Disclosed is a radiographic imaging system which is provided with: a plurality of radiographing chambers equipped with a registration device; a console; and a management device for associating and managing the identification information of a portable radiographic imaging device with the identification information of the radiographing chambers. When the identification information of the portable radiographic imaging device is notified by the registration device of a radiographing chamber, the console displays an icon corresponding to the imaging device on a selection screen. When the identification information of the portable radiographic imaging device, as notified by the registration device, is associated with the identification information of another radiographing chamber, the management device discards the association and deletes the icon corresponding to the portable radiographic imaging device from the selection screen of the console, which is associated with said other radiographing chamber.
