RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING APPARATUS AND RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240288386 titled 'RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING APPARATUS AND RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGING

The radiographic imaging apparatus described in the patent application includes a selection unit that chooses a preparatory driving mode from several options, and a drive unit that executes preparatory driving in the selected mode during the transition from standby to imaging enabled state.

  • The preparatory driving modes have varying transition times from standby to imaging enabled state, with the selection unit picking a mode that ensures the transition time is equal to or shorter than the radiation irradiation preparation time of the radiation generation apparatus.
  • This innovation optimizes the preparatory process for radiographic imaging, reducing overall time and improving efficiency in the imaging workflow.
  • By selecting the most suitable preparatory driving mode, the apparatus streamlines the transition to imaging enabled state, enhancing the overall performance of the radiographic system.
  • The patent application focuses on improving the operational efficiency of radiographic imaging equipment, ultimately benefiting healthcare providers and patients by reducing wait times and enhancing image quality.
  • This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way radiographic imaging is conducted, leading to faster and more accurate diagnostic procedures in various medical settings.
    • Potential Applications:**

The technology can be applied in medical facilities, diagnostic imaging centers, and hospitals to improve the efficiency of radiographic imaging processes.

Original Abstract Submitted

a radiographic imaging apparatus includes a selection unit configured to select a preparatory driving mode from among a plurality of preparatory driving modes, and a drive unit configured to perform preparatory driving in the preparatory driving mode selected by the selection unit during a transition time of transition from a standby state to an imaging enabled state, wherein the plurality of preparatory driving modes is different from each other in the transition time of transition from the standby state to the imaging enabled state, and wherein the selection unit selects a preparatory driving mode from among the plurality of preparatory driving modes such that the transition time of transition from the standby state to the imaging enabled state is equal to or shorter than a radiation irradiation preparation time of a radiation generation apparatus.
