Radiographic imaging device, radiographic imaging system, and recording medium
Provided is a radiographic imaging device including: a first hardware processor; a sensor that includes multiple semiconductor elements arranged two-dimensionally and multiple switch elements respectively connected to the semiconductor elements; a gate driver that causes each of the switch elements of the sensor to switch between a conductive state and non-conductive state so as to release charge from each of the semiconductor elements; and a reader that performs readout of a signal value according to an amount of the charge released by the each of the semiconductor elements of the sensor. The first hardware processor sets an imaging condition that affects a dose of radiation reaching the sensor, selects a gate readout pattern according to the set imaging condition among different gate readout patterns, and drives the gate driver and the reader using the selected gate readout pattern.
IMAGING SUPPORT DEVICE, AND OPERATION METHOD AND OPERATION PROGRAM FOR THE SAME
An imaging support device used in a radiography apparatus including a radiation source and a radiation image detector that detects a radiation image of a subject on the basis of radiation emitted from the radiation source and transmitted through the subject, includes at least one processor. The processor executes a determination process of determining a necessity of and a reason for recapturing an acquired new radiation image by using a trained model that has learned a relationship between a radiation image acquired in the past and the necessity of and the reason for reimaging, a corrective measure derivation process of, in a case where it is determined that reimaging is necessary, deriving a corrective measure for correcting a position or an orientation of the subject on the basis of the reason for determining that reimaging is necessary, and a presentation process of presenting the corrective measure derived in the corrective measure derivation process.
RADIOGRAPHY APPARATUS
A radiography apparatus includes an upright imaging stand that is used for radiography on a subject, a camera as a detection sensor that immediately detects a state of the subject with respect to the upright imaging stand, a tablet terminal, and a reflective member. The tablet terminal displays a notification screen including an image output from the camera. The reflective member reflects the notification screen such that the subject facing the upright imaging stand visually recognizes the image.

A patient support apparatus may include a support surface configured to conduct air along a top face of the support surface so that heat and moisture from a patient lying on the support surface are drawn away from the top face of the support surface. An opening may be formed in a side of the support surface. A cavity may extend from the opening into the support surface. An inlet port may be positioned within the cavity and fluidly coupled to the top face. A blower assembly may be configured to position within the cavity. The blower assembly may have an outlet port that couples to the inlet port when the blower assembly is positioned within the cavity. The blower assembly may conduct air through the inlet port to the top face of the support surface.
