    Abstract: A determination section of an FPD checks external information against a determination table and determines whether detection of a rise of X-ray pulses is allowed based on an output voltage from a short-circuited pixel. The FPD detects X-ray images. The external information is transmitted from an imaging control device. The X-ray pulses are sequentially generated by an X-ray generating apparatus. A controller selects a pulse irradiation mode in a case where the detection of the rise of the X-ray pulse is allowed. If not, a successive irradiation mode is selected. In the pulse irradiation mode, the rise and the fall of the X-ray pulse are detected and timing of storage operation is synchronized with the detected timing of the rise. In the successive irradiation mode, the storage operation is performed at predetermined time intervals without the detection of the rise and the fall of the X-ray pulse.

    Abstract: A flat panel detector has pixels for obtaining image signals and detective pixels for detecting the amount of incident x-rays. A signal processing circuit is of a pipeline-type, wherein first and second buffer memories are connected to the output of an A/D converter. In a dose detecting operation, the signal processing circuit repeats primary cycles alternately with secondary cycles of a shorter length than the primary cycles. In the primary cycle, a dose detection signal based on electric charges from the detective pixels is input in the first buffer memory and, simultaneously, a dummy signal is output from the second buffer memory. In secondary cycle, the dose detection signal is output from the first buffer memory and, simultaneously, a second dummy signal is input in the second buffer memory. On the basis of the dose detection signals, a start-of-radiation detector detects the start of x-ray radiation.

    Abstract: An X-ray image detecting device has an FPD having a matrix of pixels each for accumulating signal charge in accordance with an X-ray irradiation amount. An imaging area of the FPD is partitioned into a plurality of divided sections A to I. Each of the divided sections A to I has a short pixel for detecting X-ray irradiation. In a synchronization control for controlling the FPD in synchronization with detection of a start of X-ray emission from an X-ray source, a control unit for controlling the X-ray image detecting device uses all the divided sections A to I. In an automatic exposure control for stopping the X-ray emission from the X-ray source by detecting a total X-ray irradiation amount, the control unit uses part of the divided sections, e.g. the short pixels of the divided sections that are judged to be opposed to an object in the synchronization control.

    Abstract: A control unit of an electronic cassette has a function of switching a power supply state to an ADC between an operating state corresponding to a first state in which first power is supplied and a non-operating state corresponding to a second state in which second power that is lower than the first power per unit time is supplied. The control unit reduces the number of ADCs in the operating state per unit time T in an AED operation for detecting the start of the emission of X-rays to be less than that in an image reading operation for outputting an X-ray image provided for diagnosis.

    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.
