Abstract
In a radiographic apparatus, a pole to which an X-ray tube device is fixed is independently evacuated on a head side or a foot side of a top board through an operation of an X-ray tube pole evacuating switch. A subject or patient is laid on a top board, and a secondary X-ray tube device suspended from an overhead traveling portion is moved to be positioned over a concerned portion of the subject. Then, an X-ray image detecting portion moving switch is operated so that an X-ray image detecting portion is moved to a position, corresponding to the concerned portion under the top board. Under the state, remote radiographing, such as chest radiographing, is carried out. Thus, the remote radiographing can be carried out by a radiographic stand capable of fluoroscopying and radiographing without separately installing a radiographing device.
Claims7
An A radiographic apparatus for fluoroscopy or radiography, comprising:
- an X-ray tube device,
- a pole attached to the X-ray tube device for holding the same,
- a secondary X-ray tube device,
- one X-ray image detecting portion disposed to face one of the X-ray tube device and the secondary X-ray tube device,
- an evacuating device with a switch for independently evacuating the X-ray tube device together with the pole relative to a subject, and
- a moving device with a switch for independently moving the X-ray image detecting portion to a suitable position so that one of fluoroscopying and radiographing can be carried out by using the X-ray image detecting portion in combination with one of the X-ray tube and the secondary X-ray tube device.
A radiographic apparatus for fluoroscopy or radiography, comprising:
- an X-ray tube device,
- a pole attached to the X-ray tube device for holding the same,
- an X-ray image detecting portion disposed to face the X-ray tube device,
- a coupling device for mechanically coupling the pole and the X-ray image detecting portion, and
- a switch for actuating the coupling device, said X-ray image detecting portion being released from the pole by an operation of the switch for the coupling device so that the X-ray image detecting portion can be moved manually.
