Abstract
An X-ray imaging apparatus including a sensor unit with a sensor array configured to generate a signal corresponding to X-rays and a sound-production unit configured to make a notification by sound production causes the sound-production unit to execute sound production in response to detection of an event. If an event including a sound-production request occurs during a period including a period of reading out a signal from the sensor array, the X-ray imaging apparatus restricts execution of sound production by the sound-production unit.
Claims40
A radiation imaging apparatus having a communication function capable of exchanging data with an external device using at least one of wired communication and wireless communication, comprising:
- a sensor unit including a sensor array configured to generate a signal corresponding to radiation;
- a sound-production unit configured to make a notification by sound production;
- and
- a notification unit configured to cause the sound-production unit to execute sound production in response to detection of an event,
- wherein sound production by the sound-production unit is executed such that the sound production is not executed during a period of reading out a signal from the sensor array in a state in which communication with the external device is disabled.
A control method for a radiation imaging apparatus including:
- a sensor unit with a sensor array configured to generate a signal corresponding to radiation;
- a sound-production unit configured to make a notification by sound production;
- and a communication function capable of exchanging data with an external device using at least one of wired communication and wireless communication, the method comprising:
- causing the sound-production unit to execute sound production in response to detection of an event,
- wherein the sound production by the sound-production unit is executed such that sound production by the sound-production unit is not executed during a period of reading out a signal from the sensor array.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a program for causing a computer to execute a control method for a radiation imaging apparatus including:
- a sensor unit with a sensor array configured to generate a signal corresponding to radiation;
- a sound-production unit configured to make a notification by sound production;
- and a communication function capable of exchanging data with an external device using at least one of wired communication and wireless communication, the method comprising:
- causing the sound-production unit to execute sound production in response to detection of an event,
- wherein the sound production by the sound-production unit is executed such that sound production by the sound-production unit is not executed during a period of reading out a signal from the sensor array.
A radiation imaging apparatus having a communication function capable of exchanging data with an external device using at least one of wired communication and wireless communication, comprising:
- a sensor unit including a sensor array configured to generate a signal corresponding to radiation;
- a storage unit configured to store the signal;
- a sound-production unit configured to make a notification by sound production;
- and
- a notification unit configured to cause the sound-production unit to execute sound production in response to detection of an event,
- wherein sound production by the sound-production unit is executed such that the sound production is not executed during a period of reading out a signal from the sensor array in a case where the signal is stored in the storage unit without exchanging the data with the external device for each radiation imaging.
A control method for a radiation imaging apparatus including:
- a sensor unit with a sensor array configured to generate a signal corresponding to radiation;
- a storage unit configured to store the signal;
- a sound-production unit configured to make a notification by sound production;
- and a communication function capable of exchanging data with an external device using at least one of wired communication and wireless communication, the method comprising:
- causing the sound-production unit to execute sound production in response to detection of an event,
- wherein the sound production by the sound-production unit is executed such that sound production by the sound-production unit is not executed during a period of reading out a signal from the sensor array in a case where the signal is stored in the storage unit without exchanging the data with the external device for each radiation imaging.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a program for causing a computer to execute a control method for a radiation imaging apparatus including:
- a sensor unit with a sensor array configured to generate a signal corresponding to radiation;
- a sound-production unit configured to make a notification by sound production;
- and a communication function capable of exchanging data with an external device using at least one of wired communication and wireless communication, the method comprising:
- causing the sound-production unit to execute sound production in response to detection of an event,
- wherein the sound production by the sound-production unit is executed such that sound production by the sound-production unit is not executed during a period of reading out a signal from the sensor array in a case where the signal is stored in the storage unit without exchanging the data with the external device for each radiation imaging.
