Abstract
A bucky tray for an X-ray imaging apparatus includes a first plate on which an X-ray detecting device is mountable, and a second plate configured to be coupled to the first plate to be movable to at least one of a first location where the X-ray detecting device of a first size is accommodated and a second location where another X-ray detecting device of a second size is accommodated. The X-ray detecting device is configured to be mounted on the bucky tray.
Claims22
A bucky tray for an X-ray imaging apparatus, the bucky tray comprising:
- a first plate comprising a first surface, wherein a bottom surface of a first X-ray detecting device of a first size or a bottom surface of a second X-ray detecting device of a second size is mountable on the first surface;
- and
- a second plate which is configured to be coupled to the first plate and to be movable to at least one of a first location where the first X-ray detecting device is to be accommodated and a second location where the second X-ray detecting device of a is to be accommodated, the second plate comprising a second surface aligned with the first surface of the first plate as an extension of the first surface to provide a supporting structure,
- wherein the bottom surface of the first X-ray detecting device or the bottom surface of the second X-ray detecting device is supported by the second surface of the second plate in response to the second plate being moved to the first location or the second location, respectively, and
- wherein the first plate and the second plate are configured to symmetrically move in opposite directions.
An X-ray imaging apparatus comprising:
- a first X-ray detecting device of a first size or a second X-ray detecting device of a second size;
- a bucky tray on which the first X-ray detecting device or the second X-ray detecting device is to be mounted;
- and
- an accommodation unit configured to accommodate the bucky tray,
- wherein the bucky tray is configured to be accommodated in or discharged from the accommodation unit and comprises:
- a first plate comprising a first surface, a bottom surface of the first X-ray detecting device or a bottom surface of the second X-ray detecting device being mountable on the first surface, and
- a second plate which is configured to be coupled to the first plate and to be movable to at least one of a first location where the first X-ray detecting device is to be accommodated and a second location where the second X-ray detecting device of a second size is to be accommodated, the second plate comprising a second surface aligned with the first surface of the first plate as an extension of the first surface to provide a supporting structure,
- wherein the bottom surface of the first X-ray detecting device or the bottom surface of the second X-ray detecting device is supported by the second surface of the second plate in response to the second plate being moved to the first location or the second location, respectively, and
- wherein the first plate and the second plate are configured to symmetrically move in opposite directions.
