Radiographic Image Detection Device with Movable Handle
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Portable radiographic image detection devices face challenges in handling orientations, as existing solutions do not consider vertical or horizontal orientations, leading to potential impediments during imaging.
Innovation Solution
A radiographic image detection device with attachable and detachable handles at multiple side face locations, allowing for easier handling in various orientations, and including a detection section to associate attachment positions with image data for appropriate image processing and storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a handle is provided at the electronic cassette for portability, then portability is improved, but the handle may become an impediment to imaging when the electronic cassette is mounted on a standing position frame or inserted between a bed and a subject
Solution Approach 1:
The handle is made movable relative to the electronic cassette body, allowing it to be repositioned or removed based on the imaging situation. This dynamic configuration enables the handle to serve its portability function when needed while being moved out of the way during imaging to avoid impeding the radiation path.
2Object-generated harmful factors
If the position of the carrying handle is made movable or the handle is made removable, then the handle does not become an impediment when the electronic cassette is mounted on a standing position frame, but no consideration is given to whether the electronic cassette is put into a vertical orientation or into a horizontal orientation
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple attachment portions are provided at different locations on the electronic cassette body, allowing the handle to be attached at various positions depending on the imaging orientation (vertical or horizontal). This universal attachment system enables the handle to adapt to different imaging scenarios while maintaining portability.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Facilitates handling in orientations corresponding to imaging conditions without impairing portability, ensuring the handle does not obstruct imaging and allows for efficient image data processing and storage.
Implementation Method 1
an X-ray-sensitive layer is disposed on a TFT (thin film transistor) active matrix substrate and X-rays can be directly converted to digital data
Implementation Method 2
X-rays can be directly converted to digital data
