Proximity operation X-ray fluoroscopic imaging apparatus
A proximity operation fluoroscopic imaging apparatus allows a retreating operation for a X-ray detection element at an arbitrarily-positioned height. The X-ray imaging is carried out using the proximity operation fluoroscopic imaging apparatus a hanging-type X-ray irradiation element, a deck unit 26 , supporting a flat panel detector 13 , moves to a retreating position. The deck unit 26 , supports a flat panel detector 13 , and enables a retreating operation in the area of a subject M side of a tower unit 25 , so that such a retreating operation is feasible regardless a height-position of the deck unit 26 supports the flat panel detector 13.
1. A proximity operation fluoroscopic imaging apparatus, comprising:
a table on which a subject is loaded;
said table having a first side and a second side, said subject being on said first side of said table;
a first X-ray irradiation element that is in-place at said second side of said table and opposite said subject so as to sandwich said table;
a tower unit that is in-place along a side of said table;
a floater that moves along said tower unit;
a deck unit that moves in an orthogonal direction crossing a moving direction of said floater while being guided by said floater;
a main unit;
a first X-ray detection element that is in-place in said main unit that is used when a hanging-type X-ray irradiation element is used for an X-ray imaging;
said first X-ray detection element is a flat panel detector and said floater guides said deck unit supporting said flat panel detector in an area from a surface, facing said subject, of said tower unit toward said subject so that said floater guides said deck unit so as to move said deck unit in a direction crossing a moving direction of said floater; and
said floater further includes a stopping guide member configured to engage said tower unit and suspend a motion of said deck unit before reaching said surface.
2. The proximity operation X-ray imaging apparatus, according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a second X-ray irradiation element; and
a rotation mechanism that rotates wherein said main unit and said flat panel detector are configured to rotate around a central-axis facing a horizontal direction defined along a direction of said table.
