Abstract
An industrial X-ray imaging apparatus including: an X-ray source; an X-ray detector configured to detect X-rays emitted from the X-ray source; a stage which is disposed between the X-ray source and the X-ray detector and is configured to support a subject; and a shielding chamber configured to accommodate the X-ray source, the X-ray detector, and the stage, in which the shielding chamber includes a door for carrying in and out the subject, and a lock mechanism for prohibiting the door from changing to an open state, and in which the X-ray imaging apparatus further includes an unlocking control unit configured to control unlocking of the lock mechanism based on a leakage dose leaking from the shielding chamber to an outside.
Claims4
An X-ray imaging apparatus comprising:
- an X-ray source;
- an X-ray detector configured to detect X-rays emitted from the X-ray source;
- a stage which is disposed between the X-ray source and the X-ray detector and is configured to support an imaging object;
- a shielding chamber configured to accommodate the X-ray source, the X-ray detector, and the stage, wherein the shielding chamber includes a door for carrying in and out the imaging object;
- a lock mechanism for prohibiting the door from changing to an open state;
- a sensor configured to detect at least one of a tube voltage of the X-ray source and a tube current of the X-ray source;
- and
- a controller configured to control unlocking of the lock mechanism based on at least one of the tube voltage and the tube current.
