Abstract

A radiography apparatus includes an upright imaging stand that is used for radiography on a subject, a camera as a detection sensor that immediately detects a state of the subject with respect to the upright imaging stand, a tablet terminal, and a reflective member. The tablet terminal displays a notification screen including an image output from the camera. The reflective member reflects the notification screen such that the subject facing the upright imaging stand visually recognizes the image.

Claims (32)

1. A radiography apparatus comprising:

an imaging table that is used for radiography on a subject;

a detection sensor that detects a state of the subject with respect to the imaging table;

a display that displays a notification screen including notification information based on a detection result of the detection sensor; and

a reflective member that reflects the notification screen such that the subject facing the imaging table visually recognizes the notification information.

2. The radiography apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the detection sensor is an optical camera that images the subject facing the imaging table, and

the notification information is at least one of an image output from the optical camera or a determination result which has been determined on the basis of the image output from the optical camera and which indicates whether or not a posture of the subject is suitable for the radiography.

3. The radiography apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the optical camera includes a first camera that images a back surface of the subject facing the imaging table.

4. The radiography apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the first camera is attached to a radiation source that emits radiation.

5. The radiography apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the optical camera includes a second camera that images a region including a boundary between the imaging table and the subject facing the imaging table.

6. The radiography apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display is disposed at a position that does not interfere with the subject in a case in which the subject faces the imaging table, and

the reflective member is disposed in front of a face of the subject facing the imaging table.

7. The radiography apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the imaging table has a holder that holds a radiographic image detector which detects radiation and which outputs a radiographic image and that is moved in accordance with a physique of the subject, and

the display and the reflective member are provided in the holder.

8. The radiography apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an adjustment mechanism that adjusts a position and orientation of the reflective member with respect to the subject.

9. The radiography apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the display is attachable to and detachable from the imaging table.

10. The radiography apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the reflective member is any one of a glass plate or a resin plate having a metal film formed on a surface thereof, a metal plate having a mirror-finished surface, or a plate having a highly reflective film attached thereto.

11. The radiography apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein a transparent cover for protecting a surface of the reflective member is provided.

12. The radiography apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein a frame is attached to an entire periphery of the reflective member.

13. The radiography apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the imaging table is an upright imaging stand used for the radiography on the subject in a standing posture.
