Abstract
The mammography apparatus includes an imaging stand that includes a recess that cuts out at least a part of a contact face that comes in contact with a chest wall of a subject, in which the recess has a shape in which between a first ridge portion where the contact face and an upper face are connected to each other, and a second ridge portion where the contact face and a lower face are connected to each other, at least a part of the second ridge portion is cut out, and the first ridge portion is not cut out.
Claims15
A mammography apparatus comprising:
- an X-ray irradiation section that irradiates an X-ray imaging panel with X-rays;
- and
- an imaging stand that includes the X-ray imaging panel and a control circuit of the X-ray imaging panel, and is provided with an upper face on which a breast of a subject is placed, a lower face that is opposite to the upper face, a contact face that is connected to the upper face and the lower face and comes in contact with a chest wall of the subject, a first side face and a second side face that are connected to the upper face and the contact face, and a recess formed by cutting out at least a part of the contact face,
- wherein the recess has a shape in which between a first ridge portion where the contact face and the upper face are connected to each other, and a second ridge portion where the contact face and the lower face are connected to each other, at least a part of the second ridge portion is cut out from the lower face, and an entirety of the first ridge portion is not cut out from the upper face,
- wherein the second ridge portion has a curved surface that is convex toward the upper face when seen from the contact face.
