Abstract
A radiographic imaging apparatus includes a radiation generator which irradiates an object with radiation, a detection unit which detects the radiation generated by the radiation generator and transmitted through the object, thereby shooting a radiographic image, and a control unit which controls radiographic imaging by the radiation generator and the detection unit. The detection unit includes a first connection unit to be used to connect the control unit when used portably, and a second connection unit to be used to connect the control unit when stationarily used on a support portion. The detection unit detects which one of the first connection unit and the second connection unit is used to connect the control unit, and determines a shooting operation based on the detection result.
Claims7
A radiographic imaging apparatus comprising:
- a radiation generator configured to irradiate an object with radiation;
- a detection unit configured to detect the radiation generated by the radiation generator and transmitted through the object, thereby shooting a radiographic image;
- and
- a control unit configured to control radiographic imaging by the radiation generator and the detection unit,
- the detection unit comprising:
- a first connection unit configured to be used to connect the control unit when used portably;
- a second connection unit configured to be used to connect the control unit when stationarily used on a support portion;
- a connection destination detection unit configured to detect which one of the first connection unit and the second connection unit is used to connect the control unit;
- and
- a determination unit configured to determine a shooting operation based on a detection result of the connection destination detection unit,
- wherein upon detecting connection by the first connection unit, the determination unit makes a frame rate of shooting lower than that in connection by the second connection unit.
A control method of a radiographic imaging apparatus including:
- a radiation generator configured to irradiate an object with radiation;
- a detection unit configured to detect the radiation generated by the radiation generator and transmitted through the object, thereby shooting a radiographic image;
- and
- a control unit configured to control radiographic imaging by the radiation generator and the detection unit, the method comprising:
- detecting which one of a first connection unit provided in the detection unit and used to connect the control unit when portably using the detection unit and a second connection unit provided in the detection unit and used to connect the control unit when stationarily using the detection unit on a support portion is used to connect the detection unit to the control unit;
- and
- determining a shooting operation based on a detection result in the detecting which one of the first connection unit and the second connection unit is used to connect the detection unit to the control unit,
- wherein upon detecting connection by the first connection unit, a frame rate of shooting is made lower than that in connection by the second connection unit in the determining of the shooting operation.
