Medical image radiography apparatus

Abstract

A medical image radiography apparatus includes a radiography system for taking a medical image of a subject, a supporting mechanism for supporting the radiography system in various radiography positions, a memory unit for storing a plurality of radiography positions, together with their order relation, as sequential automatic positioning data, and a controller for controlling the supporting mechanism on the basis of the sequential automatic positioning data in order to change a radiography position sequentially. In this manner, the plurality of radiography positions are stored, together with their order relation, as the sequential automatic positioning data. When taking a radiograph, the radiography position is sequentially changed in accordance with the sequential automatic positioning data. As a result, the operability concerning a change in the radiography position is improved more than in the conventional case wherein a preset button is repeatedly selected.
