A radiographic image capturing apparatus includes a housing and a radiation detector accommodated in the housing. The radiation detector includes a scintillator for converting radiation into visible light and photodiodes for converting the visible light into electric charges.

A portable radiographic imaging device and a portable X-ray source, that operate due to a first and second rechargeable battery respectively, can be accommodated in an accommodating case that is portable. While the accommodating case is being transported, a charging circuit provided in the accommodating case acquires electric power from a third rechargeable battery accommodated in the accommodating case, and charges the first and second rechargeable batteries. In this way, by accommodating the portable radiographic imaging device and the portable X-ray source in the accommodating case, the rechargeable batteries for the portable radiographic imaging device and the portable X-ray source are charged during transport.
摘要:
A radiographic image capture system includes a radiation detector, a radiation source, a generator, and a controller. The radiation detector includes plural pixels that generate electrical charges upon irradiation with radiation and that accumulate the electrical charges. The radiation source irradiates radiation onto the radiation detector. The generator reads the respective electrical charges accumulated in each of the pixels as electrical signals and generates image data. The controller causes the generator to read the electrical charges accumulated in each of the pixels at a specific frame rate in cases where continuous fluoroscopic imaging is performed, and, in a case in which a specific condition is satisfied, causes the radiation source to reduce the radiation amount being irradiated and causes the generator to perform thinned reading to read out the pixels one section at a time while extending the reading cycle of the electrical charges for each pixel.
