Abstract:
A mammography apparatus includes a compression control unit that, in a case in which continuous imaging that captures a radiographic image of the breast compressed by a compression plate and then captures an ultrasound image of the breast while maintaining the compressed state is performed, performs control to set a force of the compression plate compressing the breast to a first force in the capture of the radiographic image and to change the force of the compression plate compressing the breast from the first force to a second force lower than the first force in the capture of the ultrasound image.
Abstract:
A mammography apparatus includes a diagnostic image acquisition unit that acquires a diagnostic image in which a calcification as a biopsy target is marked; a scout image acquisition unit that acquires a scout image obtained by imaging a mamma undergoing the biopsy from a specific direction; and a display unit that highlights a calcification (candidate for biological tissue examination) in the scout image which matches at least the marked calcification in the diagnostic image.
Abstract:
An acoustic matching member configured to be disposed between a breast placed on an imaging table and a compression plate disposed opposite to the imaging table is proposed. The acoustic matching member includes a protruding portion that protrudes toward the imaging table and that is provided in an end portion on a deepest side when viewed from a chest wall side of a subject in a case of compressing a breast of the subject in contact with the compression plate.

Provided are a mammography apparatus, a control device, a mammography apparatus control method, and a mammography apparatus control program that can effectively reduce the subject's pain caused by the compression of the breast by a compression plate.A mammography apparatus includes a compression plate that compresses a breast, a moving unit that moves the compression plate in a compression direction in which the breast is compressed and a decompression direction in which the breast is decompressed, a radiation source that emits radiation, and a control unit that controls the moving unit such that the compression plate is moved to a first position in the compression direction and is moved to a second position in the decompression direction and performs control such that the radiation is emitted from the radiation source to the breast in a state in which the compression plate is located at the second position.
Abstract:
A mammography apparatus includes: a moving unit that moves a compression plate in a compression direction in which the breast is compressed and a decompression direction in which the breast is decompressed; a radiation source; a pressure sensor that is used to measure a compression pressure which is a compression force of the compression plate per unit area; and a control unit that controls the moving unit such that the compression plate is moved to a first position where the compression pressure measured by the pressure sensor is a first compression pressure in the compression direction and is moved to a second position where the compression pressure measured by the pressure sensor is a second compression pressure in the decompression direction and performs control such that radiation is emitted from the radiation source in a state in which the compression plate is located at the second position.
Abstract:
A radiography device includes: a radiation emitting unit that irradiates a subject with radiation at a plurality of different incident angles; a radiographic image generation unit that receives the radiation passed through the subject and generates a radiographic image; a part-of-interest detection unit that detects a mutation site suspected as a lesion from the radiographic image obtained by irradiating the subject with the radiation at a predetermined incident angle; and a radiography device control unit that controls whether to perform each of the tomosynthesis imaging in which the radiographic image generation unit generates the radiographic image while the radiation emitting unit changes the incident angle of the radiation and two-dimensional radiography in which the radiation emitting unit is fixed to a predetermined incident angle and the radiographic image generation unit generates the radiographic image, on the basis of a detection result of the part-of-interest detection unit.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a radiation imaging device with excellent user-friendliness even in a comparatively large device configuration. A radiation imaging device includes radiation detectors and a housing. The radiation imaging device includes a plurality of radiation detectors, each of which has a detection surface for detecting a radiation image. The housing includes a top plate, and a frame body which is a sidewall provided at the edge of the top plate, a recess portion being provided in the frame body, and accommodates a plurality of radiation detectors in a state where the detection surfaces are aligned in a direction along the surface of the top plate.
Abstract:
There are provided the following components: an FPD that has a plurality of pixels, in which signal electric charges corresponding to amounts of X-rays incident are accumulated, and that is capable of nondestructively reading data which indicates the X-ray image; an amplifier that amplifies a signal sent from the FPD and has a variable gain; an evaluation value calculation section that obtains an evaluation value for evaluating the X-ray image; and a gain adjustment section that calculates a new gain of the amplifier used at the time of rereading. The gain of the amplifier is changed to a value of a new gain which is calculated by the gain adjustment section, and the X-ray image is reread.
