Abstract
Disclosed is a radiation imaging device configuring a radiation imaging system. Specifically disclosed is a radiation imaging device wherein external force action mechanisms are capable of applying external force to the peripheral sections of a radiation conversion panel, or applying the external force while being laminated on the radiation conversion panel, or pressing the radiation conversion panel against the inner wall of a panel containing unit, which contains the radiation conversion panel, at least in imaging when radiation is applied.
Claims7
A radiographic image capturing apparatus comprising:
- a radiation conversion panel for converting radiation into a radiographic image;
- and
- an external force applying mechanism for applying an external force to the radiation conversion panel,
- wherein the external force applying mechanism applies an external force to a peripheral edge of the radiation conversion panel, applies an external force to the radiation conversion panel while being stacked on the radiation conversion panel, or presses the radiation conversion panel against an inner wall surface of a panel housing unit that houses the radiation conversion panel at least during capturing of a radiographic image by applying the radiation to the radiation conversion panel,
- further comprising:
- an environmental condition detector for detecting an environmental condition in the panel housing unit;
- and
- an external force controller configured to control the external force applying mechanism to apply the external force to the peripheral edge or to the radiation conversion panel based on the environmental condition detected by the environmental condition detector.
A radiographic image capturing system comprising:
- a radiographic image capturing apparatus having a radiation conversion panel for converting radiation into a radiographic image, and an external force applying mechanism for applying an external force to the radiation conversion panel;
- and
- a control device for controlling the radiographic image capturing apparatus,
- wherein the external force applying mechanism applies an external force to a peripheral edge of the radiation conversion panel, applies an external force to the radiation conversion panel while being stacked on the radiation conversion panel, or presses the radiation conversion panel against an inner wall surface of a panel housing unit that houses the radiation conversion panel at least during capturing of a radiographic image by applying the radiation to the radiation conversion panel,
- the radiographic image capturing apparatus further comprising:
- an environmental condition detector for detecting an environmental condition in the panel housing unit;
- and
- an external force controller configured to control the external force applying mechanism to apply the external force to the peripheral edge or to the radiation conversion panel based on the environmental condition detected by the environmental condition detector.
