    Abstract: A control device includes a detection unit, a determination unit, a generation unit, and a control unit. The detection unit detects a state of each of the plurality of radiation tubes in a case in which tomosynthesis imaging that continuously irradiates an object with radiation at a plurality of different irradiation angles in order to generate a tomographic image in any tomographic plane of the object is performed using the plurality of radiation tubes. The determination unit determines whether or not to permit the generation of the tomographic image on the basis of the detection result of the detection unit and outputs a determination result. The generation unit generates the tomographic image. The control unit controls the operation of the generation unit on the basis of the determination result.

    Abstract: An X-ray tube includes: a cathode assembly that emits electrons; an anode that receives the electrons and generates X-rays; an envelope that is a case having the cathode assembly and the anode accommodated therein; a first shielding portion that shields the X-rays between the envelope and the cathode assembly on a reference line that connects a center of a point where the electrons are generated and a center of a point where the X-rays are generated; and a second shielding portion that shields the X-rays between the envelope and the cathode assembly in a direction perpendicular to the reference line from the center of the electron generation point.

    Abstract: A radiographic imaging apparatus in which a radiation source support unit supports a radiation source is adapted to be capable of being quickly carried to a use position in a small radius. A radiographic imaging apparatus includes a leg unit that includes three or more wheel units and is capable of traveling on an apparatus-placement surface by using wheels, a body unit that is held on the leg unit, an arm unit as a radiation source support unit that is connected to the body unit, a radiation source that is mounted on the arm unit, a battery that is received in the body unit and drives the radiation source, and a circuit that is received in the body unit and relates to the drive of the radiation source. The wheel unit is formed of a revolving caster.

    Abstract: A pre-imaging control unit of a mammography apparatus selects one pre-imaging focus from plural focuses of a radiation source according to selection conditions which are preset in order to prevent the concentration of load on one of the focuses. Pre-imaging for setting the irradiation conditions of radiation in tomosynthesis imaging is performed using the selected pre-imaging focus. For example, the selection conditions indicate that the pre-imaging focus is changed in each pre-imaging operation and the focus of a radiation tube adjacent to the radiation tube whose focus has been used in the previous pre-imaging is selected as the pre-imaging focus.
