摘要:
A radiation detecting cassette is disposed in a desired position between a bed and a patient in an operating room. After a detector-side connector and a bed-side connector are connected to each other by a cable, an image capturing apparatus captures and records radiation image information of the patient in a radiation detector. The recorded radiation image information is transmitted from a transceiver of the bed to a console by way of wireless communications in a communication range selected by a selector of the bed, then processed by the console, and transmitted to a display device, which displays a radiation image based on the supplied radiation image information.
摘要:
A wireless communication control unit controls a transmitting and receiving apparatus so as to prohibit transmission of radiation image information to the outside by wireless communication or power supply from the outside to an electric power source by wireless communication in accordance with an exposure detecting signal from an exposure detecting unit or a conversion detecting signal from a conversion detecting unit. Thus, this can control the transmitting and receiving apparatus not to carry out, at the same period of time, the irradiation of a radiation (X) to a radiation detector, a conversion operation of the radiation image information in the radiation detector, and wireless communication by the transmitting and receiving apparatus.
摘要:
A signal detector detects signals transmitted from signal generators disposed in a radiation detecting cassette, and a distance calculator calculates the distance between a radiation source and a radiation detector based on the signals detected by the signal detector. A determining unit determines whether the detected distance matches a predetermined distance from the radiation source to the radiation detector when a radiation image is captured. If the detected distance does not match the predetermined distance, the determining unit outputs, to a warning unit, a warning signal indicating that the detected distance does not match the predetermined distance, and also outputs a control signal for equalizing the detected distance with the predetermined distance, to a radiation source movement controller.
摘要:
A radiation detecting cassette has a casing including a first flat plate for facing a patient and a second flat panel for facing a surgical table. The first flat plate and the second flat panel are spaced from each other by a predetermined distance. The casing also includes a pair of first and second tapered side members disposed on respective side edges of the first and second flat plates. The first and second tapered side members are progressively tapered toward their distal ends. The first and second tapered side members house therein respective radiation shields, which in turn house therein a battery, a cassette controller, and a transceiver.
摘要:
A radiation detecting cassette includes a casing having first through fourth display units mounted on respective side walls thereof for displaying ID information of a patient, etc. The casing also has first detectors on the respective side walls for detecting obstacles facing the first through fourth display units and second detectors on the respective side walls for detecting loads applied to the casing near the first through fourth display units. Based on detected results from the first and second detectors, at least one of the first through fourth display units which is not covered by the patient is selected to display the ID information of a patient, etc.
摘要:
A radiation image capturing system includes a plurality of image capturing apparatus having different specifications for capturing a radiation image of a subject, a plurality of processors having specifications corresponding to the specifications of the image capturing apparatus, for controlling the image capturing apparatus and processing radiation image information acquired from the image capturing apparatus, and a supply apparatus for supplying image capturing instruction information for the image capturing apparatus to one of the processors, which is selected depending on the specifications of the image capturing apparatus.
摘要:
Radiation image information detected by a radiation detector of a radiation detecting cassette is compressed by an image compressor, and then transmitted by way of wireless communications to a display device, which displays a compressed image representative of a rough radiation image on a display unit. The radiation image information is stored in an image memory and transmitted by way of wireless communications to a console in which the radiation image information is processed as desired by an image processor. The processed radiation image information is sent by way of wireless communications to the display device, which displays a detailed image in place of the compressed image.
摘要:
A transceiver of a radiation detecting cassette receives subject ID information from an RFID tag by way of wireless communications. An ID checker checks the subject ID information received by the transceiver against a plurality of subject ID information stored in an RFID memory. If the subject ID information received by the transceiver matches one of the subject ID information stored in the RFID memory, then the ID checker associates the matching subject ID information with a radiation dose that is stored in a dose storage unit and corresponds to the matching subject ID information.
摘要:
A radiation detecting cassette houses therein a detector for detecting a load applied to the radiation detecting cassette when a patient has moved. It is determined whether or not the patient has moved in an image capturing process based on the load detected by the detector. If it is judged that the patient has moved, then a warning is displayed, and a radiation image of the subject is inhibited from being captured.
摘要:
Power supply switches are disposed on respective side walls of a casing of a radiation detecting cassette, which are held out of contact with a patient when a radiation image of the patient is captured. When a surgeon or a radiological technician turns one of the power supply switches on or off, a battery starts or stops supplying electric power to a radiation detector, a cassette controller, and a transceiver.
