A system for taking fluoroscopic images of large animals having a rotatable plate with a plurality of detectors disposed on the rotatable plate, wherein the detectors are arranged as spokes extending radially outwardly from a central rotational point on the rotatable plate with collimators disposed on the side edges of the spokes. A drive assembly rotates the plate about an axis extending through the central rotational point at a speed such that the duration of successive image frames corresponds to the time taken for each spoke of detectors to move to the position of an adjacent spoke of detectors.

A control system includes a radiation emission apparatus and a radiographic imaging apparatus that generates image data by receiving radiation. A first apparatus of the radiation emission apparatus and the radiographic imaging apparatus includes a first timer that performs time measurement to periodically generate first time measurement information. A second apparatus of the radiation emission apparatus and the radiographic imaging apparatus includes a second timer that performs time measurement to periodically generate second time measurement information. The first apparatus includes an interface that transmits the first time measurement information to the second timer. At least one apparatus includes a hardware processor which adjusts the operation of the first or second timer based on adjustment conditions in a state where the second timer does not acquire the first time measurement information.

A radiographic imaging device that obtains a radiographic image, includes a battery, a first hardware processor, and a storage. The battery drives the radiographic imaging device. The first hardware processor measures an amount of power remaining in the battery. The storage stores a first threshold and a second threshold of the amount of power remaining in the battery. The first threshold is used to allow photographing of a first photography mode. The second threshold is used to allow photographing of a second photography mode that consumes less power than the first photography mode.

A breast imaging apparatus includes a radiation generation unit configured to generate radiation and a radiation detection unit configured to detect radiation irradiation from the radiation generation unit and can rotate the radiation generation unit and the radiation detection unit in a state in which they face each other. Imaging is performed in a state in which a body part (breast) of an object to be imaged is sandwiched by a pressing panel on a first side of the breast imaging apparatus. In addition, imaging is performed while rotating the radiation generation unit and the radiation detection unit in a state in which the body part (breast) of the object to be imaged is inserted between the radiation generation unit and the radiation detection unit from a second side opposite to the first side of the breast imaging apparatus.

A support unit (200), a support device (100) and an emission tomography device using the support device (100) are provided. The support unit (200) comprises: a support body (210), in which an accommodation space (220) that penetrates through the support body is provided, comprising multiple support positions (230A, 230B) that are distributed along a circumferential direction of the accommodation space (220); and multiple fastening means (240A, 240B), connected to at least some of the multiple support positions. At least some of the multiple fastening means (240A, 240B) can move between a contraction position and an extension position along a radial direction of the accommodation space (220). The fastening means (240A, 240B) are used to fasten detectors of the emission tomography device. When the fastening means (240A, 240B) are located at the contraction position, a first detector fastening ring of a first diameter is formed, and when the fastening means (240A, 240B) are located at the extension position, a second detector fastening ring of a second diameter that is smaller than the first diameter is formed. The emission tomography device using the support unit (200) can adjust at least a radial length of a detection chamber, so that a relatively large three-dimensional space angle can be obtained, thereby improving detection sensitivity.

A radiographic imaging device includes: a radiation detector including plural pixels, each including a sensor portion and a switching element; a detection unit that detects a radiation irradiation start if an electrical signal caused by charges generated in the sensor portion satisfies a specific irradiation detection condition, and/or if an electrical signal caused by charges generated in a radiation sensor portion that is different from the sensor portion satisfies a specific irradiation detection condition; and a control unit that determines whether or not noise caused by external disturbance has occurred after the detection unit has detected the radiation irradiation start, and if the noise has occurred, that stops a current operation of the radiation detector, and causes the detection unit to perform detection.

During the generation of a panoramic x-ray recording, the use of semi-transparent x-ray screens allows the patient's x-ray exposure to be reduced when partial x-ray images are created, in spite of relatively large overlapping areas between the partial x-ray images.

The present invention provides an X-ray transceiving component for a CT imaging apparatus, comprising one or more bulb devices and a plurality of detector devices. The one or more bulb devices are configured to emit quadrate-tapered or fan-shaped X-ray beams. The plurality of detector devices are configure to receive the quadrate-tapered or fan-shaped X-ray beams emitted by the one or more bulb devices, each of the quadrate-tapered or fan-shaped X-ray beams comprising X-rays passing through a scanning field of view. Note that the plurality of detector devices are configured to receive X-rays passing through different areas within the scanning field of view, the one or more bulb devices are micro-focus bulb devices, and the plurality of detector devices are flat panel detectors or photoelectric coupling detectors. The present invention can greatly improve a resolution of CT imaging, increase imaging efficiency, and realize low-dose diagnosis in the case of ensuring that the scanning field of view is sufficient.
