Estimating the term…
A breast imaging apparatus, capable of performing mammogram imaging and CT imaging by a radiation imaging unit that holds a radiation generation unit and a radiation detection unit configured to detect radiation irradiation from the radiation generation unit such that the radiation generation unit and the radiation detection unit face each other, includes: a housing elevating unit configured to vertically move a housing support unit configured to support the radiation imaging unit; and a control unit configured to control the vertical movement of the housing elevating unit based on an imaging type that is one of mammogram imaging and CT imaging.
A breast imaging apparatus capable of performing mammogram imaging and CT imaging by a radiation imaging unit that holds a radiation generation unit and a radiation detection unit configured to detect radiation irradiation from the radiation generation unit such that the radiation generation unit and the radiation detection unit face each other, comprising:
A method of controlling a breast imaging apparatus including a radiation imaging unit that holds a radiation generation unit and a radiation detection unit configured to detect radiation irradiation from the radiation generation unit such that the radiation generation unit and the radiation detection unit face each other, and a housing elevating unit configured to vertically move a housing support unit configured to support the radiation imaging unit, and capable of performing mammogram imaging and CT imaging by the radiation imaging unit, comprising:
A computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute each step of a method of controlling a breast imaging apparatus including a radiation imaging unit that holds a radiation generation unit and a radiation detection unit configured to detect radiation irradiation from the radiation generation unit such that the radiation generation unit and the radiation detection unit face each other, and a housing elevating unit configured to vertically move a housing support unit configured to support the radiation imaging unit, and capable of performing mammogram imaging and CT imaging by the radiation imaging unit, the method of controlling the breast imaging apparatus comprising:
A breast imaging apparatus capable of performing mammogram imaging and CT imaging by a radiation imaging unit that holds a radiation generation unit and a radiation detection unit configured to detect radiation irradiation from the radiation generation unit such that the radiation generation unit and the radiation detection unit face each other, comprising:
