Abstract
A radiation imaging system comprising a control apparatus that controls a radiation generating apparatus which exposes a radiation and a radiation imaging apparatus that detects the exposed radiation and generates a radiation image, wherein the radiation imaging apparatus has a first communication mode in which a signal related to a stop of exposure of the radiation is wirelessly transmitted and a second communication mode in which at least one signal not related to the stop of exposure of the radiation is wirelessly transmitted, and wherein communication in the first communication mode includes communication at power lower than communication in the second communication mode.
Claims14
A radiation imaging system comprising:
- a control apparatus configured to control a radiation generating apparatus arranged to expose a radiation;
- and
- a radiation imaging apparatus arranged to detect the exposed radiation and generate a radiation image,
- wherein:
- the radiation imaging apparatus has a first communication mode in which a signal related to a stop of exposure of the radiation is wirelessly transmitted and a second communication mode in which at least one signal not related to the stop of exposure of the radiation is wirelessly transmitted;
- communication in the first communication mode includes communication at power lower than communication in the second communication mode;
- the radiation imaging apparatus includes a first antenna and a second antenna;
- the radiation imaging apparatus is configured to perform the communication in the first communication mode using the first antenna;
- and
- the radiation imaging apparatus is configured to perform the communication in the second communication mode using the second antenna.
A method of operating a radiation imaging system comprising a controlling apparatus configured to control a radiation generating apparatus arranged to expose a radiation and a radiation imaging apparatus arranged to detect the exposed radiation and generate a radiation image, the method comprising:
- wirelessly transmitting a signal related to a stop of exposure of the radiation in a first communication mode by the radiation imaging apparatus;
- and
- wirelessly transmitting at least one signal not related to the stop of exposure of the radiation in a second communication mode by the radiation imaging apparatus,
- wherein:
- communication in the first communication mode includes communication at power lower than communication in the second communication mode;
- the communication in the first communication mode is performed using a first antenna included in the radiation imaging apparatus by the radiation imaging apparatus;
- and
- the communication in the second communication mode is performed using a second antenna included in the radiation imaging apparatus by the radiation imaging apparatus.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a program, for causing, when executed by a computer, the computer to execute a method of operating a radiation imaging system, the method comprising:
- wirelessly transmitting a signal related to a stop of exposure of the radiation in a first communication mode by a radiation imaging apparatus;
- and
- wirelessly transmitting at least one signal not related to the stop of exposure of the radiation in a second communication mode by the radiation imaging apparatus,
- wherein:
- communication in the first communication mode includes communication at power lower than communication in the second communication mode;
- the communication in the first communication mode is performed using a first antenna included in the radiation imaging apparatus by the radiation imaging apparatus;
- and
- the communication in the second communication mode is performed using a second antenna included in the radiation imaging apparatus by the radiation imaging apparatus.
