RADIATION IMAGING APPARATUS

摘要

A cassette holder of an imaging stand is provided with first and second catch members for catching and holding an electronic cassette from above and below. The first catch member has a multi connector connected to a multi terminal of the electronic cassette. The multi connector is offset with respect to a center line of an imaging surface of the cassette holder. The multi terminal is offset with respect to a center line of an irradiation surface of the electronic cassette in the same direction by the same amount as those of the multi connector. In a state where said electronic cassette mounted on a tray is loaded into the cassette holder, the center line of the irradiation surface coincides with the center line of the imaging surface.

主权项

1. A radiation imaging apparatus comprising:
an electronic cassette and an imaging stand or an imaging table for detachably mounting said electronic cassette thereon, said electronic cassette having a flat panel detector for detecting a radiographic image and a housing containing said flat panel detector, said radiation imaging apparatus further comprising: an irradiation surface formed in a surface of said housing, for receiving irradiation with radiation; a connection terminal provided in a first side surface of said housing, said first side surface being orthogonal to said irradiation surface; an imaging surface provided in said imaging stand or imaging table, said imaging surface facing said irradiation surface in a state where said electronic cassette is mounted on said imaging stand or imaging table; first and second catch members provided in said imaging stand or imaging table, said first catch member coming in contact with said first side surface of said housing and said second catch member coming in contact with a second side surface opposed to said first side surface so as to catch said electronic cassette and hold said electronic cassette in a state of facing said irradiation surface to said imaging surface; a connector provided in said first catch member, said connector being connected to said connection terminal when said electronic cassette is held on said imaging stand or imaging table; a cassette holder provided in said imaging stand or imaging table, said cassette holder having said imaging surface; and a tray provided in said imaging stand or imaging table, said tray having said first and second catch members and being insertable into and pullable out of said cassette holder, and a catch of said electronic cassette with said first and second catch members allowing connection between said connection terminal and said connector and mounting of said electronic cassette on said tray, wherein said tray is pulled out of said cassette holder in a direction orthogonal to a catching direction of said electronic cassette with said first and second catch members.
