Abstract:
A portable X-ray imaging apparatus includes an electronic cassette for imaging of an X-ray image and transmitting the X-ray image wirelessly. An image receiving unit communicates with the electronic cassette and receives the X-ray image wirelessly. A passive monitoring device receives ambient electromagnetic waves to measure communication environment by passive monitoring. An active monitoring device performs data communication between the electronic cassette and the image receiving unit to measure the communication environment by active monitoring. Furthermore, an evaluation device detects a cause of a communication failure by considering a result of the passive monitoring and a result of the active monitoring. The evaluation device detects that the cause of the communication failure is a blocking object blocking radio waves or a relative position between the electronic cassette and the image receiving unit according to the results of the passive and active monitoring.

A radiographic video processing device includes: an acquisition section that acquires gradation signals expressing charges; and a control section that, if capture of a video image formed from plural frames is being performed with a radiation detector, and a number of the pixels, from which charges are combined and read by switching elements included in adjacent pixels of the radiation detector, has been increased, effects control such that, from a frame at a time of the increase up until a predetermined frame, the gradation signals distributed in a higher density range than that for frames subsequent to the predetermined frame are used as image data.
Abstract:
A portable X-ray imaging apparatus has an electronic cassette and a console capable of receiving an imaging order. The console has a wireless communication section, a trigger signal obtaining section, a connection determining section, a switching section, and a delivery requesting section. The wireless communication section receives radio waves and connects itself to an access point (AP). The trigger signal obtaining section obtains a trigger signal while the mobile radiography unit stands still. At the time of obtaining the trigger signal, the connection determining section determines one of the APs as an appropriate AP based on field intensity. The switching section switches the connection to the appropriate AP. Then, the delivery requesting section transmits a delivery request for the imaging order.
Abstract:
The present invention may suppress feedthrough components in video imaging. Namely, TFT driving waveforms are plurally overlapped, and an integration period of capacitors C of amplification circuits is set so as to encompass a generation period of a feedthrough component (OFF), a generation period of a feedthrough component (ON), and a period in which charges (a signal component) are read out from storage capacitors of pixels by ON states of the TFTs. A number of driving waveforms to be overlapped is determined in accordance with a frame rate, the integration period and a reset period, or the like.
Abstract:
An X-ray imaging apparatus includes an FPD and short-circuited pixels. The FPD has pixels arranged in arrays for detecting an X-ray image. The short-circuited pixels detect a radiation dose of X-rays in the FPD. The X-ray imaging apparatus is changed over between first and second operating modes. The first operating mode is selected in case of combining with an X-ray generating apparatus with communication compatibility, and performs an exposure control for controlling a total radiation dose according to a detection signal from the short-circuited pixels. The second operating mode is selected in case of combining with an X-ray generating apparatus with communication incompatibility, and performs control of start synchronization for synchronizing operation of the FPD with the emission start of X-rays according to a detection signal from the short-circuited pixels. Thus, control of the X-ray imaging apparatus is changed over appropriately.
