Abstract: An electronic cassette has a casing that houses a radiation converter thereinside. The radiation converter detects radiation from a radiation source that has been transmitted through a subject, and converts the radiation into radiographic image information. Plural handles are disposed on the casing of the electronic cassette, so that a person can grip the plural handles and carry the electronic cassette. Thus, the person can grip and carry the electronic cassette while dispersing the weight of the electronic cassette, so carrying the electronic cassette becomes easy. Further, when the person loads the electronic cassette into a shooting table or the like, the person can grip either of the plural handles and load the electronic cassette. For this reason, handling of the electronic cassette becomes easy.

The radiation images captured by the image capturing apparatus of different specifications are corrected to have the same magnification.

Abstract: Divalent and trivalent metal salts are added to the solution containing the fluorine compound to precipitate the layered double hydroxide containing the fluorine compound between layers. By these processes, the fluorine compound can be fixed with high rate. Moreover, if necessary, the precipitated layered double hydroxide can be recovered to separate the fluorine compound or its salt between layers. Therefore, the burden to environment or the ecosystem by the fluorine compound can be reduced.

Abstract: In a wireless IC tag, on which an integrated circuit and a small antenna are integrally mounted, a radiation-shielding material covers only the integrated circuit (IC chip) portion. Thus, the area of the small antenna covered by the radiation-shielding material is minute, and it is possible to minimally suppress a reduction in antenna gain of the small antenna. Such a wireless IC tag has radiation-shielding properties.
