Abstract
A radiation imaging apparatus including a tabletop onto which a patient lays down, a radiation imaging unit positioned below the tabletop and configured to detect radiation that transmits through the patient, a widthwise moving member supporting the tabletop and configured to move the tabletop in a widthwise direction, a moving mechanism unit including a lengthwise moving mechanism configured to move the tabletop in a lengthwise direction, the moving mechanism unit supporting the widthwise moving member and supporting the radiation imaging unit so as to be movable in the lengthwise direction, and a base unit supporting the moving mechanism unit.
Claims4
A radiation imaging apparatus comprising:
- a tabletop onto which a patient lays down;
- a radiation imaging unit positioned below the tabletop and configured to detect radiation that transmits through the patient;
- a moving mechanism unit including a lengthwise moving mechanism configured to move the moving mechanism unit in a lengthwise direction, the moving mechanism unit supporting the radiation imaging unit which is movable in the lengthwise direction;
- a base unit supporting the moving mechanism unit;
- a sensor configured to detect a relative position of the radiation imaging unit with respect to the tabletop in the lengthwise direction;
- and
- a controller controlling the movement of the radiation imaging unit based on detection by the sensor.
