    摘要: It is made possible that, in accordance with a plurality of radiographing modes such as the still image radiographing mode and the moving image radiographing mode, the outputs both in the irradiation period and in the non-irradiation period are made to fall within the dynamic range of the radiographing system, whereby an accurate, high-S/N-ratio X-ray radiographic image is obtained. For that purpose, in accordance with the plurality of radiographing modes, an arithmetic operation unit adjusts a power source to control voltage to be applied to a reading circuit unit or an Analogue-Digital conversion unit, such that, in each of the radiographing modes, both an electric signal in the X-ray irradiation period and an electric signal in the X-ray non-irradiation period fall within the dynamic ranges of the reading circuit unit and the Analogue-Digital conversion unit.

    摘要: At least one exemplary embodiment is directed to a radiography apparatus configured to have an offset reading period, where during the offset reading period an offset reading operation is performed without illumination by radiation (e.g., X-rays). The offset reading period can be different from a radiation (e.g., X-ray) reading period in timings of applying a gate pulse. During the offset reading period, a pixel addition can be performed such that the switching elements corresponding to two or more lines are concurrently turned on-off thus reducing the offset reading period.

    摘要: A radiological imaging apparatus and method allows an operator to select between moving-picture imaging and still-picture imaging modes using the same apparatus so to provide radiological imaging having a picture quality equal to that of conventional radiological film imaging techniques but with a smaller, lighter and more compact equipment configuration. The apparatus employs photoelectric converters arranged in a two-dimensional matrix array for converting radiation into electrical signals, a read-out circuit for reading the signal output from the photoelectric converters, variable gain amplifiers upstream of an analog multiplexer and a buffer amplifier downstream of the multiplexer for outputting serially converted signals. The method involves setting the moving-picture mode gain Gf so as to be greater than the still-picture mode gain Gs, in order to obtain sharper images without exposing the subject to unnecessarily high levels of radiation.

    摘要: A radiation image pick-up apparatus includes a conversion element, accumulation element, read element, detection element, driving circuit, and controller. The conversion element converts radiation into an electrical signal. The accumulation unit accumulates the electrical signal converted by the conversion element. The read unit reads out the electrical signal accumulated in the accumulation unit. The detection element detects the start and end of irradiation of the radiation. The driving circuit accumulates the electrical signal in the accumulation element responsive to the detection of start of irradiation of the radiation, and drives the read element responsive to the detection of the end of irradiation of the radiation, based on the detection result of the detection element. The controller controls the driving circuit. A radiation image pick-up system is also disclosed.
