RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING SYSTEM, RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18332497 titled 'RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING SYSTEM, RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a radiographic imaging system that includes a control apparatus and a radiographic imaging apparatus. The control apparatus controls a radiation generation apparatus, while the radiographic imaging apparatus includes a sensor unit to detect radiation and a communication unit to transmit signals to the control apparatus.

  • The control apparatus controls the radiation generation apparatus.
  • The radiographic imaging apparatus includes a sensor unit to detect radiation.
  • The communication unit in the radiographic imaging apparatus transmits an irradiation stop signal to the control apparatus.
  • The irradiation stop signal is based on the dose of radiation detected by the sensor unit.
  • The communication unit transmits a set of control signals to the control apparatus, with each control signal including the irradiation stop signal.
  • The control apparatus stops the radiation generation based on the received set of control signals.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Medical imaging: This radiographic imaging system can be used in medical facilities for X-ray imaging, allowing for precise control of radiation exposure and ensuring patient safety.
  • Industrial inspection: The system can be utilized in industrial settings for non-destructive testing, providing accurate control over radiation exposure during inspections.
  • Security screening: The technology can be employed in security screening systems, such as baggage scanners, to control radiation exposure levels and enhance safety.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Overexposure to radiation: The system addresses the issue of overexposure to radiation by allowing the control apparatus to receive an irradiation stop signal based on the detected dose of radiation, preventing excessive radiation exposure.
  • Lack of control: The technology provides precise control over the radiation generation apparatus, ensuring that radiation is emitted only when necessary and in controlled amounts.
  • Safety concerns: By stopping the radiation generation based on the received control signals, the system enhances safety for both patients and operators.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved safety: The system enhances safety by preventing overexposure to radiation and providing precise control over radiation generation.
  • Enhanced image quality: With better control over radiation exposure, the system can help improve image quality in radiographic imaging.
  • Increased efficiency: The ability to transmit a set of control signals as one unit allows for efficient communication between the radiographic imaging apparatus and the control apparatus, streamlining the operation of the system.


Original Abstract Submitted

A radiographic imaging system includes a control apparatus configured to control a radiation generation apparatus, and a radiographic imaging apparatus including a sensor unit configured to detect radiation emitted from the radiation generation apparatus and a communication unit configured to transmit, to the control apparatus, an irradiation stop signal to stop the radiation generation apparatus from emitting radiation based on a dose of the radiation detected by the sensor unit, wherein the communication unit transmits, to the control apparatus, a plurality of control signals as one set, each of the plurality of control signals including the irradiation stop signal, and wherein the control apparatus stops generation of radiation from the radiation generation apparatus based on the plurality of control signals.
