When a portable radiographic apparatus and a portable X-ray source are carried to and used for imaging at a private home or a care home, the portable radiographic apparatus and the portable X-ray source are loaded on an automobile. When the charge amount of rechargeable batteries for operation housed in the portable radiographic apparatus or the portable X-ray source loaded on the automobile is low, or when there are plural destinations and the charge amount of the rechargeable batteries becomes low, a rechargeable battery for charging mounted on the automobile is used to charge the rechargeable batteries for operation while traveling.

20110293070 | Portable radiographic apparatus system - A portable radiographic apparatus system reduces the number of types of spare rechargeable battery. A first rechargeable battery for operation of a portable radiographic apparatus has the same shape and characteristics as a second rechargeable battery for operation of a portable X-ray source. The first rechargeable battery and the second rechargeable battery are interchangeable. When, in order capture images during a visit to an individual's home or a visit to a nursing facility, the portable radiographic apparatus and the portable X-ray source are taken to the visit destination, spare rechargeable batteries must be taken in case of trouble with the rechargeable batteries. Because the first rechargeable battery and the second rechargeable battery are interchangeable, by bringing either the first rechargeable battery or the second rechargeable battery, trouble can be addressed if it arises. In this way, the number of types of spare rechargeable battery can be reduced. | 12-01-2011 |
20120069960 | Portable radiation imaging system, portable radiation source holder used therein, and set of instruments for radiation imaging - In an X-ray imaging system, an X-ray source has a lightweight and small-sized X-ray tube. The X-ray tube is a fixed anode X-ray tube without having a target rotating mechanism. The X-ray tube uses a cold cathode electron source, which does not need a filament and a heater. An image acquisition control device moves the X-ray source to each of plural positions predetermined on a cross bar of a holder by control of a drive source of a shift mechanism. Whenever the X-ray source reaches each position, the X-ray source emits X-rays to an object, and a cassette detects the X-rays transmitted through the object to take an image. Based on data of taken plural images, tomographic image, which puts emphasis on a region of interest inside the object, is produced. | 03-22-2012 |
20120076260 | Image processing apparatus and method, computer executable program, and radiation imaging system - In three dimensional X-ray imaging, a user interface is for search support with plural images, which are obtained by imaging an object upon applying X-rays thereto from an X-ray source. There is a display region for selecting two parallax images of one image pair among the plural images. Right and left buttons are for determining a direction to shift a view center of an image pair by selection from first and second directions in which an irradiation angle changes. A moving area image and line segment are for setting a small search area limited within an initial search area by considering the determined first or second direction, a first image pair specified previously, and a current second image pair in multi-stage binary search. Two parallax images of a third image pair are acquired from the small search area, to raise efficiency in search from the initial search area. | 03-29-2012 |
20120076264 | Portable radiation imaging system - An X-ray imaging system includes an X-ray generator, an electronic cassette, a holder arm, a PC, and a control device. The holder arm has an L-shaped arm body and a base column. To one end of the arm body, an X-ray source is attached. The base column is perpendicularly attached to the electronic cassette, and swingably holds the arm body. The X-ray source is shifted among an R irradiation position, an L irradiation position, and a base position by the swing of the arm body, and is fixed at each position. With the shift of the X-ray source between the R and L irradiation positions, a parallax image including a pair of R and L viewpoint images is captured. | 03-29-2012 |
20120076265 | Portable radiation imaging system, holding device used therein, and portable radiation imaging apparatus - Each of two X-ray sources hangs from a hook movably attached to a horizontal bar of a holding device. The horizontal bar is provided with a position indicating section that indicates positions suitable for each of the X-ray sources, corresponding to an object of interest (the size of X-ray irradiation area). The position indicating section has first to third lamps arranged at the respective suitable positions. Out of the first to third lamps, a holding device controller of an imaging control device turns on lamps corresponding to the object of interest inputted from an input device of a console. The hooks are moved along rails to the positions of the lamps turned on, respectively. Movable joints of support legs are operated to adjust a distance between the X-ray sources and an image receiving surface of a cassette. | 03-29-2012 |
