Abstract
A cassette for X-ray imaging includes a cassette body storing an X-ray detector. Three reflective optical sensors are arranged on an upper end side of a rear surface, which is opposite to a detection surface, of the cassette body. An X-ray detection device for supine-posture imaging has a table. The X-ray detection device includes a tray to which the cassette is loaded. Markers for identifying a loading orientation of the cassette are attached to the tray. The reflective optical sensors read out the markers and detect the loading orientation of the cassette.
Claims13
A cassette for radiographic imaging, comprising:
- a cassette body storing a radiation detector, said cassette body being capable to be loaded in a conventional imaging platform in more than one loading orientation;
- and
- a sensor provided to said cassette body for detecting loading information including at least said loading orientation from a marker attached to said conventional imaging platform, or a marker provided to said cassette body for making a sensor, attached to said conventional imaging platform, detect loading information including at least said loading orientation.
A cassette loading orientation detection device, comprising:
- a cassette body storing a radiation detector, said cassette body being capable to be loaded in a conventional imaging platform in more than one loading orientation;
- a marker attached to said conventional imaging platform, for making said loading orientation being detected;
- and
- a sensor provided to said cassette body, for detecting said loading orientation from said marker.
A cassette loading orientation detection device comprising:
- a cassette body storing a radiation detector, said cassette body being capable to be loaded in a conventional imaging platform in more than one loading orientation;
- a marker provided to said cassette body, for making said loading orientation being detected;
- and
- a sensor attached to said conventional imaging platform, for detecting said loading orientation from said marker.
