Abstract
A mobile type radiographic apparatus is provided, which can inhibit damage to a detecting device as much as possible. This invention provides a storage holder for storing an FPD, and catches for fixing the FPD to the storage holder so that the FPD stored cannot be taken out of the storage holder. Further, this invention provides a carriage movement controller which, when a carriage is about to be moved while the FPD is not in a locked state, notifies the operator to that effect. Consequently, the operator will become aware of having forgotten to lock the FPD when moving the carriage. This construction assures that the FPD is in a fixed state, whereby the FPD is never damaged during traveling of the carriage.
Claims6
A mobile type radiographic apparatus comprising:
- a radiation source for emitting radiation;
- a radiation source control device for controlling the radiation source;
- a detecting device for detecting the radiation emitted and outputting detection signals;
- a carriage having, mounted thereon, the radiation source and the radiation source control device;
- a storage device mounted on the carriage for storing the detecting device;
- a lock device for fixing the detecting device stored to the storage device;
- a monitoring device for monitoring whether a locked state has been set to fix the detecting device to the storage device by setting a lock of the lock device;
- an input device for allowing an operator to input instructions to move the carriage;
- and
- a notifying device operable, when the instructions to move the carriage are made while the detecting device is not in the locked state, to notify the operator to that effect.
