Abstract
The problem addressed by the invention is to always keep an imaging angle of an X-ray detector to an object constant before and after an imaging unit is moved. In order to solve the problem, a mobile X-ray diagnostic apparatus related to the present invention detects a rotation amount of a main body in a horizontal surface due to movement on a floor surface and controls rotation drive of the X-ray detector based on a detection result.
Claims11
A mobile X-ray diagnostic apparatus, comprising:
- an X-ray source irradiating an X-ray;
- an X-ray detector detecting an X-ray transmitted through an object;
- a holding unit holding an X-ray source and X-ray detector facing each other;
- an X-ray detector rotation driving unit rotationally driving the X-ray detector for the holding unit;
- and
- a main body supporting the holding unit movably on a floor surface,
- wherein the first detection unit detecting a rotation amount of the main body in a horizontal surface by the movement on the floor surface and an X-ray detector control unit controlling rotary drive of the X-ray detector using the X-ray detector rotation driving unit based on a detection result in the first detection unit are included.
