Abstract
An imaging system captures an image by detecting, by a sensor, radiation from a radiation generating apparatus, and transmits image data of the image captured by the sensor to a controller. The controller includes a control unit configured to control whether to permit the use of the sensor, based on whether the sensor already holds the captured image data at the time of connection of the sensor.
Claims20
An imaging system for capturing an image by detecting, by a sensor, radiation from a radiation generating apparatus, and transmitting image data of the image captured by the sensor to a controller,
- wherein the controller includes a control unit configured to control whether to permit the use of the sensor, based on whether the sensor already holds the captured image data at the time of connection of the sensor.
An imaging system for capturing an image by detecting, by a sensor, radiation from a radiation generating apparatus, and transmitting image data of the image captured by the sensor to a controller,
- wherein the sensor includes a determination unit configured to determine whether to permit the use of the sensor in the controller, based on whether the captured image data is already held at the time of connection to the controller.
An imaging control apparatus for receiving image data of an image captured by detecting, by a sensor, radiation from a radiation generating apparatus, comprising:
- a control unit configured to control whether to permit the use of the sensor, based on whether the sensor already holds the captured image data at the time of connection of the sensor.
A radiation detector for obtaining radiation image data by detecting radiation from a radiation generating apparatus, comprising:
- a storage unit configured to hold the radiation image data;
- a communication unit configured to perform communication with one of a plurality of controllers capable of controlling said radiation detector, and
- a control unit configured to control whether to permit imaging under control of a first controller, based on whether the radiation image data obtained under control of a second controller is held in said storage unit at the time of connection to the first controller.
An imaging control method for an imaging system for capturing an image by detecting, by a sensor, radiation from a radiation generating apparatus, and transmitting image data of the image captured by the sensor to a controller, the method comprising:
- controlling whether to permit the use of the sensor, based on whether the sensor already holds the captured image data at the time of connection of the sensor.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as a controller of an imaging system for capturing an image by detecting, by a sensor, radiation from a radiation generating apparatus and transmitting image data of the image captured by the sensor to the controller,
- wherein the controller includes a control unit configured to control whether to permit the use of the sensor, based on whether the sensor already holds the captured image data at the time of connection of the sensor.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to function as an imaging control apparatus for receiving image data of an image captured by detecting, by a sensor, radiation from a radiation generating apparatus,
- the imaging control apparatus including a control unit configured to control whether to permit the use of the sensor, based on whether the sensor already holds the captured image data at the time of connection of the sensor.
