Description

  The present invention relates to an X-ray imaging apparatus. In particular, the present invention relates to an X-ray imaging apparatus in which a display with a touch panel for setting imaging conditions is provided on the X-ray tube apparatus side.

  As a general X-ray imaging apparatus, a system in which a supine imaging table and a standing imaging table are combined is known (for example, Patent Document 1). This system includes an X-ray tube apparatus that irradiates a subject with X-rays, a supine imaging table disposed below the X-ray tube apparatus, and a standing imaging table disposed on the side of the X-ray tube apparatus. have. The X-ray tube device is supported by a support device from the ceiling, for example, and is rotatably connected to the support device. Further, the X-ray tube apparatus is provided with an operation button for setting imaging conditions and a display with a touch panel for displaying the set imaging conditions.

  In the above system, in imaging using the supine imaging table, X-rays are irradiated downward, and the subject on the imaging table is irradiated with X-rays. Also, depending on the imaging technique, the X-ray tube device may be rotated at a predetermined angle even when shooting using a supine position table. On the other hand, in imaging using a standing imaging table, the X-ray tube device is rotated by 90 °, and X-rays are irradiated in a horizontal direction to a subject positioned between the standing imaging table and the X-ray tube device. .

  In either case, an imaging cassette containing a film or an imaging plate is installed on the supine or stand-up imaging stand, and the transmitted X-rays of the subject are received by the film or imaging plate to obtain X-rays. I have an image.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-47608

  However, the above-described conventional technology has a problem that the visibility of the display panel and the operability of the setting operation of the photographing conditions are inferior.

  When the X-ray tube device is rotated 90 ° as in the case of standing imaging, the display with a touch panel integrated with the X-ray tube device is rotated together, and the display content is also rotated 90 °. For this reason, not only the display characters of the display are rotated by 90 ° and the visibility is deteriorated, but the operation buttons are also operated in a state of being rotated by 90 ° and the operability is also deteriorated. Similarly, the visibility and operability are deteriorated by a technique of rotating and photographing the X-ray tube apparatus other than the standing position photographing.

  Therefore, a main object of the present invention is to provide an X-ray imaging apparatus that can be used without deteriorating visibility and operability even in a procedure for imaging by rotating the X-ray tube apparatus such as standing position imaging.

  In the present invention, as the X-ray tube device is rotated, the display content of the display with a touch panel is rotated and switched, or the display with the touch panel itself or the display content is rotated to achieve the above object.

  First, an X-ray imaging apparatus having the first configuration of the present invention includes an X-ray tube apparatus that irradiates a subject with X-rays, an X-ray image reception apparatus that receives X-rays transmitted through the subject, and an X-ray tube. A support mechanism that rotatably supports the apparatus, an operation unit that is provided in the X-ray tube apparatus and sets imaging conditions, and a display with a touch panel that displays imaging condition setting means and imaging conditions provided in the operation unit With a bowl. And the angle detection sensor which detects the rotation angle of the said X-ray tube apparatus, and the switching control which switches the display content of a display with a touch panel to a horizontal display operation screen or a vertical display operation screen based on the detection result of this angle detection sensor Means.

  According to this 1st structure, the display content of a display with a touch panel can be switched to a horizontal display operation screen or a vertical display operation screen with rotation of an X-ray tube apparatus. Therefore, even when the X-ray tube device rotates, the visibility of the display content of the display and the operability of the setting work are not impaired.

  In the above X-ray imaging apparatus, it is preferable that the switching control means can further switch the display content of the display with a touch panel to a vertically inverted display screen. X-ray imaging apparatuses are often designed so that the X-ray tube apparatus can be rotated ± 180 °. In that case, since the X-ray tube device is rotated to a position that is upside down from the reference direction, by setting the display content of the display with the touch panel upside down, even when the X-ray tube device is turned upside down, The visibility of the display contents of the display and the operability of setting work are not impaired.

  Further, it is desirable that the display information on the horizontal display operation screen and the vertical display operation screen have substantially the same layout. If the layouts of the horizontal display operation screen and the vertical display operation screen are the same, the X-ray imaging apparatus can be operated without a sense of incongruity even when both operation screens are switched.

  In particular, it is preferable that the horizontal display operation screen and the vertical display operation screen are switched by making the display contents on each screen substantially the same size and rearranging them in a substantially common layout. When the display screen is simply switched between the horizontal display operation screen and the vertical display operation screen, if the display is rectangular, a part of the display content is missing or an invalid part where nothing is displayed becomes large. In order to avoid the lack of a part of the display content, it may be possible to reduce the display content as a whole, but in this case, the display content becomes small and the visibility is lowered. In view of this, the horizontal display operation screen and the vertical display operation screen can be operated without a sense of incompatibility when both operations are switched if the display contents on each screen are substantially the same size. More specifically, both operation screens are rearranged and displayed in a substantially common layout. For example, when switching from the horizontal display operation screen to the vertical display operation screen, the arrangement interval of each display content is compressed in the width direction and expanded and rearranged to switch from the vertical display operation screen to the horizontal display operation screen. In this case, the display area of the rectangular display can be used effectively by rearranging the screen and switching the screen.

  In particular, it is preferable that the number of vertical and horizontal dots of the display with a touch panel be the same. A display with a touch panel usually has a configuration in which a large number of dots are arranged in the form of coordinates vertically and horizontally. By using the same number of dots in the vertical and horizontal directions, the same display screen can be used for both the horizontal display operation screen and the vertical display operation screen, and the operability can be further improved. .

  An X-ray imaging apparatus having the second configuration of the present invention includes an X-ray tube apparatus that irradiates a subject with X-rays, an X-ray image reception apparatus that receives X-rays transmitted through the subject, and an X-ray tube. A support mechanism that rotatably supports the apparatus, an operation unit that is provided in the X-ray tube apparatus and sets imaging conditions, and a display with a touch panel that displays imaging condition setting means and imaging conditions provided in the operation unit With a bowl. Based on the detection result of the angle detection sensor, the angle detection sensor for detecting the rotation angle of the X-ray tube device, the rotation coupling mechanism for rotatably supporting the operation unit with respect to the X-ray tube device, and the detection result of the angle detection sensor. And a rotation control unit that controls the rotation coupling mechanism so that the operation unit is always held in the reference direction regardless of the rotation angle of the tube device.

  According to this second configuration, as the X-ray tube device rotates, the display with a touch panel can be rotated in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the device, and apparently the touch panel display is not rotated. Can be. Thereby, the display with a touch panel can be always held in the reference direction, the visibility of display characters can be ensured, and the arrangement of the operation buttons does not change, so that the operability can be prevented from deteriorating.

  In the second configuration, the X-ray tube device is rotatably attached to the support mechanism, and an operation unit (display with touch panel) is rotatably attached to the X-ray tube device. The operation unit may be rotated with respect to the X-ray tube apparatus using, for example, a motor. When the X-ray tube apparatus is rotated with respect to the support mechanism, the operation unit is rotated relative to the X-ray tube apparatus by the same angle as the rotation angle of the X-ray tube apparatus in the opposite direction. In this rotation, the rotation angle of the X-ray tube device is detected by an angle detection sensor, the rotation direction and rotation angle of the operation unit are obtained from the detection result, and the obtained rotation direction and rotation angle are commanded to the motor. Can be performed.

  Furthermore, an X-ray imaging apparatus having the third configuration of the present invention includes an X-ray tube apparatus that irradiates a subject with X-rays, an X-ray image reception apparatus that receives X-rays transmitted through the subject, and an X-ray tube. A support mechanism that rotatably supports the apparatus, an operation unit that is provided in the X-ray tube apparatus and sets imaging conditions, and a display with a touch panel that displays imaging condition setting means and imaging conditions provided in the operation unit With a bowl. Then, based on an angle detection sensor for detecting the rotation angle of the X-ray tube device and the detection result of the angle detection sensor, the display content of the display with a touch panel is always set to the reference direction regardless of the rotation angle of the X-ray tube device. And a display rotation control unit that controls to hold.

  According to this 3rd structure, the display content of a display with a touch panel is rotated with rotation of an X-ray tube apparatus. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the display content of the touch panel display from rotating. Therefore, even when the X-ray tube device rotates, the visibility of the display content of the display and the operability of the setting work are not impaired.

  In this third configuration, a general rectangular touch panel display may be used, a circular display window may be formed in the display screen, and the display window may be rotated. Is preferably circular. If the display window or the touch panel display itself is circular, the display content can be rotated to an arbitrary angle without a sense of incongruity.

  In any of the first, second, and third configurations, the X-ray imaging apparatus is provided with an operation unit for setting imaging conditions in the X-ray tube apparatus, and a display with a touch panel is provided in the operation unit. If it is what is, it will not specifically limit.

  The support mechanism for supporting the X-ray tube apparatus may be a support mechanism installed on the ceiling or an arm provided on the X-ray imaging apparatus itself as long as the X-ray tube apparatus can be rotatably supported. There may be.

  Various configurations of the X-ray image receiving mechanism can be used. It is equipped with a structure that outputs an X-ray image using a combination of an image intensifier and a TV camera, as well as a flat panel detector (FPD). A configuration for outputting an X-ray image can be used.

  The display content of the display with a touch panel includes operation buttons necessary for the operation of the X-ray imaging apparatus, various conditions that need to be set for imaging, and the like, and is not limited to specific contents. For example, an imaging table switching button, an X-ray tube holding device setting button and its setting information, an imaging condition setting button and its setting condition, an anatomical program button, an X-ray irradiation result, an extended function operation button, and the like are included. The imaging conditions include tube voltage, tube current, imaging time, tube current time product, and the like.

  According to the X-ray imaging apparatus of the present invention, the operation buttons and display information on the touch panel are rotated and rearranged according to the rotation angle of the X-ray tube apparatus, or the touch panel itself or the display content of the touch panel does not appear to rotate. Can be. Therefore, it is possible to set imaging conditions without impairing visibility and operability even if the orientation of the X-ray tube apparatus is different, such as lying-up imaging or standing imaging.

  Moreover, since it is not simply rotated, the display area of the rectangular display can be used effectively.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

  Further, the X-ray tube device 13 includes an operation unit 20 for operating the support mechanism 16 and the movable diaphragm device 12 and setting the imaging conditions, and a handle 24 that is gripped when the X-ray tube device 13 is changed to a predetermined direction. Is provided. The operation unit 20 includes a touch panel-equipped display 21 together with a movable aperture operation button 22 and a support mechanism operation button 23. As with the console 7 in the operation room 1, the photographing conditions can be set by the operation from the display 21 with a touch panel. Further, by operating the operation unit 20 and the handle 24, the X-ray tube device 13 (movable aperture device 12) can be rotated in a range of −180 ° to + 180 ° according to the imaging technique. . This rotation angle is detected by an angle detector 25 provided in the operation unit 20.

  FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the device of the present invention. First, the console 7 in the operation room 1 is connected to the X-ray high voltage control device 9 in the imaging room 2 so that the X-ray irradiation conditions of the X-ray tube device 13 connected to the apparatus 9 can be operated. Yes.

  Next, the operation unit 20 provided in the X-ray apparatus in the imaging room 2 is connected to the X-ray high voltage apparatus 9 through the column unit 14 and the carriage unit 15, and not only the operation of the support mechanism 16 but also the X-ray irradiation. You can also manipulate the conditions. The operation unit 20 and the support mechanism 16 are included in the X-ray tube holding device.

  In addition, the operation unit 20 is provided with an angle detector 25 that detects the rotation angle of the X-ray tube device 13, and the switching control unit 26 displays on the display 21 with a touch panel according to the detection result of the detector 25. The operation screen is controlled to be switched.

  Further, the operation unit 20 is also connected to the movable diaphragm device 12, and a movable diaphragm operation button 22 can be used to open / close the diaphragm and turn on the lamp for confirming the X-ray irradiation field.

  The FPDs 10 and 18 in the photographing room 2 are connected to the image processing device 51 in the operation room 1 and send the fetched data to the image processing device 51, where the device 51 creates an image. This image is displayed on a monitor 54 connected to the image processing device 51. When the supine position photographing stand 11 and the standing position photographing stand 19 are operated in conjunction with the support mechanism 16, the photographing stands 11 and 19 and the support mechanism 16 are connected.

  Next, the operation of the apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a schematic configuration diagram of the periphery of the X-ray tube apparatus when performing supine imaging. When performing the upright shooting, the operator selects the upright shooting table 11 with the shooting table switching button 32 (see FIG. 4) on the touch panel display 21, and operates the support mechanism operation button 23 and the handle 24 of the operation unit 20. Then, the positional relationship between the supine imaging stand 11 and the X-ray tube apparatus 13 is set. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the X-ray tube device 13 is arranged in such a direction as to be able to irradiate toward the lower position imaging table 11, and the touch panel-equipped display 21 is also arranged in the horizontally long direction. Here, the direction of the display 21 with a touch panel is set as a reference direction.

  At this time, a horizontal display operation screen is displayed on the display 21 with the touch panel. As shown in FIG. 4, in the horizontal display operation screen, the imaging table switching button 32 for selecting the imaging table to be used, the anatomical program button 33 for setting the imaging conditions collectively from the imaging region, the imaging condition display and its setting A button 34, an X-ray irradiation result display 35, an X-ray tube holding device information display and a setting button 36, and an extended function operation button 37 such as an automatic exposure setting are displayed horizontally.

  Next, lay the subject on the upright imaging stand 11, set the imaging conditions using the anatomical program button 33 or the imaging condition display and setting button 34, and position the imaging position by operating the support mechanism operation button 23 and the handle 24. I do. The photographing hand switch 52 or the photographing foot switch 53 is used for photographing.

  When performing standing imaging, the standing imaging table 19 is selected by the imaging table switching button 32, and the support mechanism operation button 23 and the handle 24 are operated to rotate the X-ray tube device 13 by 90 °. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 5, the X-ray tube device 13 faces the digital X-ray image receiving device 18.

  When the angle detector 25 detects the rotation angle of the X-ray tube device 13 by this rotation, the display content of the display 21 with the touch panel is switched to the vertical display operation screen 31 and displayed. That is, as shown in FIG. 6, an imaging table switching button 32, an anatomical program button 33, an imaging condition display and setting button 34, an X-ray irradiation result display 35, an X-ray tube holding device information display and setting button 36, and an extended function operation The display contents of the buttons 37 are rearranged and displayed as a vertically long vertical operation screen 31.

  Next, the subject is placed in front of the imaging table 19, and imaging is performed by setting imaging conditions and positioning the imaging position. At this time, since the vertical display operation screen 31 has the same positional relationship between the standard display information and the operation buttons (reference numerals 32 to 37) as the horizontal display operation screen 30, the horizontal display operation screen 30 and the vertical display operation screen 31 are displayed. Even if the mode is switched, the shooting condition setting operation can be performed without a sense of incongruity.

  Further, when the X-ray tube device 13 is rotated to approach the rotation position of −180 ° or + 180 °, the display 21 with a touch panel displays a horizontal display operation screen (not shown) with the top and bottom inverted. The upside down horizontal display operation screen is a display in which the upside down of the horizontal display operation screen 30 in FIG. 4 is reversed.

  Next, the operation procedure of the switching control unit in the above-described device of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The processing shown in this flowchart is activated and executed when the angle detector 25 detects a change in angle.

Step 501:
When the rotation of the X-ray tube device 13 is detected by the angle detector 25, the processing is started.

Step 502:
The angle of the X-ray tube device 13 is determined. If the angle is −46 ° to −135 °, go to step 503, if it is −45 ° to + 45 °, go to step 504, if it is + 46 ° to + 135 °, go to step 505, −136 ° If ˜−180 ° or + 136 ° ˜ + 180 °, go to Step 506.

Step 503:
Since the X-ray tube device 13 is turned clockwise from the reference direction in FIG. 3, the left side of the display 21 with the touch panel in the reference direction is on the upper side, and the display content is 90 from the horizontal display operation screen 30 in FIG. ° The display is switched to the rotated vertical display operation screen 31 (FIG. 6).

Step 504:
The display is switched to the horizontal display operation screen 30 (FIG. 4) in the reference direction.

Step 505:
Since the X-ray tube device 13 is turned counterclockwise from the reference direction, the display content is rotated 90 ° to the right from the horizontal display operation screen 30 in FIG. The display is switched to the vertical display operation screen 31 (FIG. 6).

Step 506:
The display is switched to a horizontal operation screen (FIG. 4) in which the lower side of the display with a touch panel is the top and the top and bottom are reversed.

Step 507:
The process ends.

  Next, a configuration for rotating the touch panel display itself with respect to the X-ray tube apparatus will be described. In the first embodiment, the display content of the display with a touch panel is switched and rotated. However, in this example, the display content is not switched, and the rotation coupling mechanism that rotates the display 21 with the touch panel relative to the X-ray tube device 13 (see FIG. (Not shown) is provided (FIG. 1).

  Since the configuration of the X-ray imaging apparatus is the same as that of the first embodiment except that a rotation coupling mechanism is used instead of rotating the display contents using the switching control unit, the difference is different. I will explain it mainly.

  Also in this example, the X-ray tube device 13 rotates with respect to the support mechanism 16, and the rotation angle is detected by the angle detector as in the first embodiment. However, in this example, the operation unit 20 further rotates with respect to the X-ray tube device 13. A rotation coupling mechanism is used for the rotation of the operation unit 20. The rotation coupling mechanism rotates the operation unit with respect to the X-ray tube device 13 by a motor.

  When the X-ray tube device 13 is rotated, the rotation angle is detected by an angle detector, and the detection result is output to the rotation control unit of the motor. The rotation control unit outputs a control command to the motor so that the operation unit 20 is given a drive in which the rotation direction is the same as the rotation angle of the X-ray tube device 13 and the rotation direction is reversed. With this control command, for example, when the X-ray tube device 13 is rotated 90 ° counterclockwise with respect to the support mechanism 16, the operation unit is rotated 90 ° clockwise with respect to the X-ray tube device. As a result, the operation unit 20 does not rotate apparently and maintains the reference direction, so that the display contents can be operated without any trouble while maintaining the horizontal display screen shown in FIG. Even when the rotation state of the X-ray tube device 13 is different from the above example, the operation unit is rotated, so that the orientation of the operation unit 20 is always maintained in the reference direction regardless of the rotation state of the X-ray tube device 13. Therefore, high visibility and operability can be realized.

  Next, a configuration in which the display screen of the display with a touch panel is circular and the display content is rotated with respect to the X-ray tube apparatus will be described. In the second embodiment, the rotation connecting mechanism for rotating the display with touch panel itself with respect to the X-ray tube device 13 is provided. However, in this example, the display with a touch panel does not rotate with respect to the X-ray tube device 13, and Only the display content of the display rotates according to the rotation angle of the X-ray tube device.

  The third embodiment is an X-ray imaging apparatus except that the display content in the display is rotated using a display rotation control unit (not shown) instead of rotating the display itself using the rotation coupling mechanism. Since this configuration is the same as that of the second embodiment, differences will be mainly described.

  Also in this example, the X-ray tube device 13 rotates with respect to the support mechanism 16, and the rotation angle is detected by the angle detector as in the second embodiment. However, in this example, a circular display device with a touch panel is provided in the operation unit, and the display content of this display device is rotated according to the rotation angle of the X-ray tube device based on the command of the display rotation control unit, and the display content is always displayed. Is controlled to hold the reference position.

  An example of the display content of the display used in this example is shown in FIG. As shown in this figure, the same contents are displayed in a circular display, although the layout is slightly different from those in FIGS.

  When the X-ray tube device 13 is rotated, the rotation angle is detected by the angle detector, and the detection result is output to the display rotation control unit. The display rotation control unit outputs a control command for rotating the display contents at the same angle as the rotation angle of the X-ray tube device 13 so that the rotation direction is reversed. With this control command, for example, when the X-ray tube device 13 is rotated 90 ° counterclockwise with respect to the support mechanism 16, the display content is rotated 90 ° clockwise with respect to the X-ray tube device. As a result, the display content does not appear to rotate and the reference direction is maintained, so that the operation can be performed without any trouble. At that time, even if the display contents are rotated, the display is circular, so the display layout before and after the rotation is exactly the same, and the X-ray imaging apparatus can be operated without any discomfort. Even when the rotation state of the X-ray tube device 13 is different from the above-described specific example, the display content is always rotated and the orientation of the display content is always maintained in the reference direction regardless of the rotation state of the X-ray tube device 13. Therefore, high visibility and operability can be realized.
