  • Patent number: 10786221
    Abstract: A radiation imaging apparatus includes: a detection unit configured to detect emitted radiation and output radiation image data; a clock control unit that has an internal clock and is configured to control a timing at which the detection unit is driven, based on time information of the internal clock; and a communication unit configured to transmit and receive data through a network, wherein the communication unit, if a communication traffic of the radiation image data is at a threshold or less, transmits the time information to a control apparatus that is connected through the network, and the clock control unit corrects the time information of the internal clock using time information that is a reply from the control apparatus to the time information.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10162067
    Abstract: A radiation imaging apparatus, which comprises a sensor array in which a plurality of pixels are arranged in a matrix form, cyclically perform a storing operation that stores charge in the pixels and a reading out operation that reads out the charge stored in the pixels, based on a synchronization signal comprised of a cyclical pulse train and a timing control signal synchronized to the synchronization signal. The radiation imaging apparatus changes a phase of the timing control signal in relation to the synchronization signal in accordance with a range of a partial region for trimming in a region of the sensor array in which read out is possible.

  • Patent number: 9425635
    Abstract: A radiation imaging apparatus taking an image data of a subject by detecting radiations having passed through the subject, includes a charging control unit configured to control a battery internally attached to the radiation imaging apparatus such that a first charge amount up to which the battery is charged using an external power source connected to the radiation imaging apparatus is different from a second charge amount up to which the battery is charged using an external apparatus.
