Publication number: 20230346333Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: CANON MEDICAL SYSTEMS CORPORATIONInventors: Katsuaki SHINODA, Keisuke SUGAWARA, Mitsunobu SUGENO, Satoshi TANAKA, Mitsuru SAKATA, Takayuki ISHIKAWA, Satoshi YAMASHITA, Yosuke KAYUKAWA, Ko FUCHIGAMI, Hirona OIKAWA
