  • Patent number: 11166692
    Abstract: An X-ray image diagnostic apparatus images a subject with X-rays without increasing the burden on a user, and includes an X-ray image diagnostic apparatus 1, a table 4 on which a subject is placed on the top-surface thereof; an X-ray tube 5 disposed beneath the back side of the table and which emits X-rays; a detector 6 disposed above the table 4 so as to face the X-ray tube 5 and detecting the X-rays emitted from the X-ray tube 5 and penetrating the subject on the table 4; an X-ray tube moving mechanism 12 that moves the X-ray tube 5 in a direction approaching the table 4 and moving away therefrom; a detector moving mechanism 13 that moves the detector 6 in a direction approaching the table 4 and moving away therefrom; and a control unit 14 that controls a distance between the X-ray tube 5 and the detector 6 by controlling action of the X-ray tube moving mechanism 12 and the detector moving mechanism 13.

  • Publication number: 20200379129
    Abstract: A radioscopic apparatus includes a controller configured or programmed to, when imaging information using the first radiation source is selected, perform control of retracting a second detector to a position in one of longitudinal ends of a table, at which the second detector does not block radiation emitted from a first radiation source, according to information about a region to be imaged of a subject included in the selected imaging information.

  • Patent number: 10405823
    Abstract: A radiation imaging apparatus secures subject safety and includes a wireless communication unit of an operation panel and a wireless communication unit of a control unit performing periodical wireless communication. While operating, it is determined if wireless communication unit of the control unit is receiving a wireless communication signal from the wireless communication unit of the operation panel, or not. Then, when the wireless communication unit of the control unit is not receiving the wireless communication signal from the wireless communication unit of the operation panel, a movement control element of the control unit executes an emergency shutdown operation to halt movement of a support table, a X-ray tube, a collimator and a X-ray detector.
