  • Patent number: 11937966
    Abstract: A radiation imaging control apparatus includes a hardware processor and an operator. The hardware processor obtains an examination order and one or a plurality of radiation irradiating parameters corresponding to each examination order. The examination order to be executed is selected using the operator. When the examination order is selected on the operator, the hardware processor determines a selecting condition according to a priority setting from a plurality of selecting conditions, and selects a radiation irradiating parameter for the examination order from one or a plurality of radiation irradiating parameters according to the determined selecting condition.

  • Publication number: 20220296190
    Abstract: Provided is a radiographic image display device that includes a display on which a first focus highlight to focus on one imaging condition among multiple imaging conditions and a second focus highlight to focus on a button for displaying a taken image are displayed; and a hardware processor. After completion of an imaging session in the one imaging condition, the hardware processor transitions the first focus highlight to an imaging condition for a next imaging session and transitions the second focus highlight to the button for displaying an image taken in the one imaging condition. The hardware processor controls a transition destination of at least one of the first focus highlight and the second focus highlight according to a type of the next imaging session performed after the imaging session in the one imaging condition.

  • Patent number: 11219114
    Abstract: A radiation generation control device includes an acquirer, a first connector, a second connector and a controller. The acquirer acquires a first signal which instructs emission of radiation. The first connector inputs a second signal which indicates a driving state of a radiography apparatus that generates a radiographic image. The second connector connects with a radiation generation apparatus that generates radiation. The controller makes the second connector repeatedly output a third signal which instructs emission of radiation with a predetermined period based on the acquired first signal and the input second signal.
