Abstract

A radiation generation device includes a radiation source unit that emits radiation, and at least one processor. The processor acquires distance information indicating a distance to a radiation detection device connected in a communicable manner, and derives, based on the distance information, an irradiation condition of the radiation in a case of capturing a radiation image based on the radiation emitted from the radiation source unit by using the radiation detection device.

Claims (30)

1 . A radiation generation device comprising:

a radiation source unit that emits radiation;

a display unit;

at least one processor; and

a camera that captures a visible light image in which an emission direction of the radiation emitted from the radiation source unit is an imaging direction,

wherein the at least one processor:

acquires distance information indicating a distance to a radiation detection device connected in a communicable manner,

derives, based on the distance information, an irradiation condition of the radiation in a case of capturing a radiation image based on the radiation emitted from the radiation source unit by using the radiation detection device,

displays the irradiation condition, derived based on the distance information, on the display unit, and

displays information indicating an imaging range of the radiation image on the display unit to be superimposed on the visible light image.

2 . The radiation generation device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one processor changes the information indicating the imaging range of the radiation image according to the distance indicated by the distance information.

3 . The radiation generation device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the radiation generation device is a portable type.

4 . The radiation generation device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one processor derives the distance to the radiation detection device based on a wireless signal transmitted to and received from the radiation detection device.

5 . The radiation generation device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the at least one processor

intermittently performs derivation of the distance to the radiation detection device, and

updates the irradiation condition according to a fluctuation of the distance to the radiation detection device.

6 . The radiation generation device according to claim 5 ,

wherein the at least one processor updates the irradiation condition in a case in which a fluctuation amount of the distance to the radiation detection device is equal to or larger than a threshold value.

7 . The radiation generation device according to claim 6 ,

wherein the at least one processor derives the fluctuation amount based on an average value of the distances to the radiation detection device derived over a plurality of times.

8 . The radiation generation device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one processor derives the irradiation condition corresponding to the distance indicated by the distance information based on relationship information indicating a correspondence relationship between the distance to the radiation detection device and the irradiation condition.

9 . The radiation generation device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the at least one processor

acquires imaging menu information indicating an imaging menu of the radiation image, and

derives the irradiation condition based on the imaging menu information and the distance information.
