Benefits

The benefits of this technology include faster imaging processes, improved image quality, and enhanced safety measures for both operators and patients.


Original Abstract Submitted

A radiographic apparatus includes a radiation detector configured to perform radiographic imaging, an orientation measurement unit configured to perform measurement of orientation of the radiation detector, a signal output unit configured to output a trigger signal between reception of a stop signal indicating that a visiting cart carrying the radiation detector is at rest or stops and reception of a completion signal indicating completion of positioning of the radiation detector taken out of the visiting cart and a radiation generation apparatus for the radiographic imaging, the visiting cart being configured to carry the radiation generation apparatus and the radiation detector, and a control unit configured to control the orientation measurement unit to reduce a sampling period of the measurement based on reception of the trigger signal.
