Abstract: The X-ray imaging apparatus according to the embodiment includes an X-ray irradiator and processing circuitry. The X-ray irradiator is placed in a surgery room. The processing circuitry is configured to sequentially acquire a position of each staff member presenting in the surgery room during a procedure using the X-ray irradiator. The processing circuitry is configured to sequentially acquire an exposure dose of each staff member from a dosimeter. The processing circuitry is configured to associate the position of each staff member and the exposure dose of each staff member with a time, and sequentially record association data in a memory circuit. The processing circuitry is configured to display association data indicating a relation between the position of each staff member and the exposure dose of each staff member in an identifiable manner on a display.

Abstract: An X-ray diagnostic apparatus according to the present embodiment includes: an X-ray tube which generates X-rays to be irradiated at an object; an X-ray diaphragm which houses an X-ray shielding member forming an irradiation aperture, through which the X-rays pass, along a side surface of the X-ray tube; an X-ray detector which detects X-rays passing through the object; and an image data generation circuitry which generates image data based on the X-rays detected by the X-ray detector.

Abstract: A diagnostic table for a medical imaging apparatus includes a sliding command input device by which a sliding command is configured to be input to produce a sliding movement of a tabletop, a first detector configured to detect sliding movement of the tabletop, a second detector configured to detect input of the sliding command, a stopper coupled to the tabletop and configured to prevent the tabletop from sliding, and a controller coupled to the first and second detectors and the stopper, the controller configured to determine a fault condition when the first detector detects sliding movement of the tabletop inconsistent with the command detected by the second detector and to activate the stopper to prevent the sliding movement of the tabletop upon determining existence of the fault condition.

Abstract: An X-ray diagnosis apparatus which divides a desired scope of diagnosis for a subject under examination from a first diagnosis position to a second diagnosis position into a plurality of diagnosis regions and produces an X-ray image of each of the diagnosis regions, thereby obtaining consecutive X-ray images covering the scope of diagnosis. The apparatus includes an input means for inputting at least a third diagnosis position within the scope of diagnosis and a setting means for setting the center-to-center distance of adjacent diagnosis regions on the basis of the distance between the first diagnosis position and the third diagnosis position.

Abstract: A method for producing a biased belt sheet includes the steps of cutting a longitudinally extending rubbered strip, having a number of cords embedded therein extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of the strip, at a desired angle with respect to the longitudinal direction into unit sheets of a desired length, each being in the form of a parallelogram, on a cutting conveyor by cutting means, transferring in turn each unit sheet from the cutting conveyor to a sheet joining conveyor by holding means and transfer means, positioning the unit sheet so that the cut edges of the unit sheet become parallel to the moving direction of the sheet joining conveyor, and adhering the forward end of the unit sheet to the rearward end of the preceding unit sheet to form a continuous belt sheet of biased cord material.
