X-ray Imaging Apparatus Automatic Pathway Registration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional X-ray imaging apparatuses require users to manually press switches and operate multiple controls to register pathway information, leading to poor workability and increased workload during the imaging process.
Innovation Solution
An X-ray imaging apparatus with a control element that automatically acquires and registers representative points by detecting the relative movement between the table and the X-ray irradiation detection element, eliminating the need for manual switch pressing and improving workability by automating the registration of pathway information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual operation of unlock-switch and registration switch is used to register pathway information, then the imaging platform can be moved to desired locations, but the user workload increases and workability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The control element automatically detects when the imaging platform has reached a desired location and autonomously registers the representative point without requiring manual intervention. The system monitors the position of the imaging platform and automatically stores pathway information when suspension of movement is detected, allowing the system to serve itself rather than requiring continuous user input
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical operation of switches with an automated detection and control system. The control element uses sensors and position monitoring to detect when the imaging platform has reached the desired location, substituting the mechanical act of pressing switches with an automated electronic detection and registration process
2Measurement precision
If multiple switches and controls are used for pathway registration, then precise positioning can be achieved, but the number of operations increases and efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The control element automatically monitors the position of the imaging platform and detects when it has reached the desired location, eliminating the need for manual verification and registration operations. The system self-registers the representative point based on detected position information, maintaining precision while improving efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The control element continuously monitors the position of the imaging platform during movement, enabling automatic detection and registration without interrupting the imaging process. This continuous monitoring allows the system to maintain precise positioning while eliminating discrete manual operations that would interrupt workflow

AI summary
An X-ray imaging apparatus enables to improve workability and a register of a pathway information on X-ray imaging. The X-ray imaging apparatus comprises a control element that control a driving element 5 so that the X-ray irradiation element to image a subject S and a table loading the subject S are relatively movable based on a pathway information that is pre-registered when imaging the subject S. The control element acquires the information as a representative point relative to the location at which the table and the X-ray irradiation detection element 1 suspend to move relatively based on that relative moving between the table 2 and the X-ray irradiation element suspends; or that once the relative moving between the table 2 and the X-ray irradiation detection element suspends, the relative moving between the table and the X-ray irradiation detection element restarts, after the X-ray irradiation detection element and the table are relatively moved, and registers the pathway information based on the acquired representative point.
