Imaging control apparatus and radiographic imaging system
An imaging control apparatus includes a hardware processor. The hardware processor is capable of sending, to a console, a command indicating permission of radiation emission. The console controls a radiation emitting apparatus that emits radiation. The hardware processor is also capable of outputting a first control signal to a radiographic imaging apparatus that generates a radiograph based on the first control signal.
1. A radiographic imaging apparatus comprising:
a radiation detector including a radiation detection element that detects radiation emitted by a radiation emitting apparatus in response to an emission command instructing the radiation emitting apparatus to emit the radiation;
a reader that reads out a charge from the radiation detection element of the radiation detector;
a signal input unit that receives, from a control apparatus linked with the radiation emitting apparatus by software, a signal for the reader to read out the charge; and
a communication unit that outputs, to an external apparatus, data of a radiograph generated based on the charge read out by the reader.
2. A radiographic imaging system comprising:
a radiation emitting apparatus that emits radiation;
a console that controls radiation emission of the radiation emitting apparatus;
a radiographic imaging apparatus that detects the radiation emitted by the radiation emitting apparatus and generates a radiograph; and
an imaging control apparatus that controls radiograph generation of the radiographic imaging apparatus,
wherein the radiation emitting apparatus, the console and the imaging control apparatus are linked with one another by software.
3. The radiographic imaging system according to claim 2 ,
wherein the imaging control apparatus sends a command indicating permission of radiation emission to the console, and
wherein the console sends an emission command to the radiation emitting apparatus, the emission command instructing the radiation emitting apparatus to emit the radiation.
4. The radiographic imaging system according to claim 2 , wherein the imaging control apparatus sends a control signal to the radiographic imaging apparatus.
5. The radiographic imaging system according to claim 4 , wherein the radiographic imaging apparatus includes:
a radiation detection element that detects the radiation emitted by the radiographic emitting apparatus; and
a reader that reads out a charge from the radiation detection element in response to the control signal sent by the imaging control apparatus.
6. The radiographic imaging system according to claim 2 ,
wherein the radiographic imaging apparatus generates, as the radiograph, a plurality of radiographs, and
wherein the console generates a long image by combining the radiographs generated by the radiographic imaging apparatus.
