A compression tube attaching-detaching unit is provided with an arm, a connecting pin, and an attaching-detaching mechanism portion. The arm supports a compression tube. The attaching-detaching mechanism portion is removably coupled with the connecting pin to mount the arm on a radiographic fluoroscopic imaging apparatus. The connecting pin has a shaft portion and a flange portion positioned at the tip end of the shaft portion. The attaching-detaching mechanism portion includes a main body, a lid portion, a locking portion, and an unlocking portion.

Compression tube attaching-detaching unit

An X-ray shielding unitincludes a plurality of shielding slats, freely movable with an imaging system that is in place above a table, and each free end of the shielding slats extends toward the table and is the slats are arrayed in parallel along the long side of the table. A shielding switching element switches the X-ray shielding unit between a shielding state in which the X-ray exposure to the operator S is blocked and a releasing state. The shielding switching element includes a slat rotation mechanism rotating respective shielding slats on a short side axis of the table, and the slat rotation mechanism rotates the shielding slats during switching of the shielding state.

Proximity operation-type X-ray fluoroscopic imaging apparatus

The X-ray fluoroscopic imaging apparatus is provided with an imaging unit including an X-ray source and an X-ray detector, a handle, a fluoroscopic button, and an imaging button. At least one of a fluoroscopic button and an imaging button is composed of a plurality of buttons provided on at least one end portion side in a direction along which the handle extends, and the plurality of buttons is mutually offset in a direction intersecting with the direction along which the handle extends.

A radiation imaging apparatus adds a compression force to the subject and a beltseparated from the surface of a tablemoves to a lifting position by providing the beltwith tension and rotation of a wind-up rollerwherein in use beltlifts from the surface of the tableand compresses the abdomen of the subject M and, after rotation of the wind-up rollerends X-ray imaging occurs.
