Abstract
An X-ray imaging stand that supports an upright X-ray imaging panel by a column standing vertically through a carriage, includes a bar-like member having a longitudinal bar section that extends from the carriage in the upward direction over the upper end of the X-ray imaging panel and a horizontal bar section that extends from the leading end of the longitudinal bar section in the horizontal direction over the surface of the X-ray imaging panel receiving the X-ray, and a support mechanism that supports the longitudinal bar section of the bar-like member above the carriage such that the angle thereof is variable in plural stages in a plane parallel to the surface of the X-ray imaging panel receiving the X-ray.
Claims20
An X-ray imaging stand that supports an upright X-ray imaging panel by a column standing vertically through a carriage, said X-ray imaging stand comprising:
- a bar-like member comprising a longitudinal bar section that extends from said carriage in an upward direction over an upper end of said X-ray imaging panel that is configured to receive an X-ray, and a horizontal bar section that extends from a leading end of said longitudinal bar section in a horizontal direction over a surface of said X-ray imaging panel;
- and
- a support mechanism adapted to support said longitudinal bar section of said bar-like member above said carriage such that an angle thereof is variable in a plurality of stages in a plane parallel to the surface of said X-ray imaging panel.
An X-ray imaging apparatus comprising:
- an X-ray irradiator configured to emit an X-ray;
- an upright X-ray imaging panel configured to receive the X-ray;
- and
- an X-ray imaging stand configured to support said X-ray imaging panel by a column standing vertically through a carriage, said X-ray imaging stand comprising:
- a bar-like member comprising a longitudinal bar section that extends from said carriage in an upward direction over an upper end of said X-ray imaging panel and a horizontal bar section that extends from a leading end of said longitudinal bar section in a horizontal direction over a surface of said X-ray imaging panel;
- and
- a support mechanism configured to support said longitudinal bar section of said bar-like member above said carriage such that an angle thereof is variable in a plurality of stages in a plane parallel to the surface of said X-ray imaging panel.
