Abstract
An imaging system captures an image by detecting, by a sensor, radiation from a radiation generating apparatus, and transmits image data of the image captured by the sensor to a controller. The controller includes a control unit configured to control whether to permit the use of the sensor, based on whether the sensor already holds the captured image data at the time of connection of the sensor.
Claims8
A medical imaging system, comprising:
- a sensor configured to be able to communicate with a plurality of controllers, to capture an image by detecting radiation from a radiation generating apparatus and convert radiation into an electric signal under control of one of the plurality of controllers, and to transmit image data of the image captured by the sensor to a controller, wherein
- when communication starts or restarts between the sensor and the controller to which image data is to be transmitted, that controller displays a message on a display unit including information about untransmitted image data held by the sensor, and
- when communication between the sensor and another controller starts or restarts, the other controller does not display the message.
