A plurality of radiation images of an object are acquired by iterating the steps of: beginning driving of a rotation driving unit at the time at which a breathing signal having been detected by a breathing sensor has come into a predetermined state, performing a radiation imaging operation with a set of a radiation source and a radiation detector at the time, at which the heart has come into a predetermined state, in accordance with a heartbeat signal having been detected by a heartbeat sensor within a rotation driving period, during which the rotation driving unit performs the rotation driving, and ceasing the rotation driving of the rotation driving unit at the time at which the breathing of the object has come into a state other than the predetermined state.

Placement of a marker is performed efficiently, when performing a plurality of radiation imaging operations of a subject with different imaging angles. An operator inputs a region of interest within a subject on a bed, via an operating section. The region of interest and a peripheral region thereof are set as an irradiation range, and the marker is placed in the peripheral region. A radiation source control section causes a radiation source to emit radiation toward the subject within the set irradiation range. Radiation which passes through the subject is obtained by a radiation image detector as a radiation image.

摘要:
There are provided a radiation detector and a radiological image radiographing apparatus capable of improving the quality of an obtained radiological image while suppressing the deterioration of the sensitivity of a phosphor layer according to the cumulative dose of radiation. In the radiation detector, a second scintillator which absorbs lower radiation energy than radiation energy absorbed by a first scintillator and whose deterioration of sensitivity according to the cumulative dose of radiation is larger than that of the first scintillator is provided at the downstream side of the first scintillator in the emission direction of the radiation. In addition, two substrates of a first substrate, which mainly acquires electric charges corresponding to light generated by the first scintillator, and a second substrate, which mainly acquires electric charges corresponding to light generated by the second scintillator, are provided.

摘要:
An insertion assisting device includes a rotary body in the form of toroid, and a support and drive part for supporting the rotary body in a rotatable manner and rotating it. The support and drive part has an approximately cylindrical supporting member for supporting the rotary body in a rotatable manner. The rotary body is provided with a convex portion for increasing the thickness to improve the strength thereof. A concave portion having a shape corresponding to the shape of the convex portion is formed on a portion of a front end surface of the supporting member, which is made in contact with the convex portion. The concave portion prevents the rotary body from stopping rotating, which may be caused by point contact between the convex portion and the supporting member.
