A method of manufacturing a radiographic imaging apparatus includes providing a flexible base material on a support body and forming a sensor substrate in which a plurality of pixels for accumulating electric charges generated depending on light converted from radiation is provided; forming a conversion layer that converts the radiation into light on a fixing plate; providing the conversion layer in a state in which a surface of the conversion layer opposite to the fixing plate is made to face a first surface of the base material provided with the pixels; fixing one end of the flexible cable to the sensor substrate; fixing the flexible cable to the fixing plate; and peeling the sensor substrate provided with the conversion layer and the fixing plate from the support body.

Method of manufacturing radiographic imaging apparatus

A radiation detector includes a sensor panel unit, a support table to which the sensor panel unit is attached, and two fixing members. The sensor panel unit includes two sensor panels. The sensor panel has pixels that sense visible light converted from radiation and generate charge. The sensor panel unit has a configuration in which an end portion of one sensor panel and an end portion of the other sensor panel are arranged to overlap each other in a thickness direction. A first fixing member fixes two sensor panels in an overlap region in which the end portions overlap. A second fixing member fixes the sensor panel unit and the support table in the overlap region. The second fixing member at least partially overlaps the first fixing member in the overlap region in a plan view of the sensor panel unit in the thickness direction.

Radiation detector and radiography apparatus

A radiation detector includes a support table in which an attachment surface having an arc surface shape is formed, a sensor panel which has a rectangular plate shape and in which pixels that include TFTs and detect radiation are two-dimensionally arranged, a circuit board, a flexible cable, and a reduction structure. The sensor panel is attached to the attachment surface while being curved following the arc surface shape. The flexible cables connect a curved side of the sensor panel and a reading circuit board and are arranged along the curved side. The flexible cable is bent to dispose the reading circuit board at an angle of 90° with respect to the sensor panel. The reduction structure reduces a bias of a stretching force applied to the flexible cable caused by the curved side.

A CT apparatus includes an annular frame that rotates around a subject positioned in a bore, three columns that hold the frame to be rotatable and movable up and down in a vertical, an elevation mechanism that moves up and down the frame, and a rotation mechanism that rotates the frame. A radiation source and a radiation detector are attached to the frame at positions facing each other. The frame has a width smaller than a width of the radiation source and the radiation detector in a height direction over a whole periphery. An imaging controller performs control for operating the elevation mechanism in response to a return instruction from an operator to move the frame to a retreat height position set at a position of a highest point in an elevation range of the frame on an upper end side of the columns. The imaging controller performs control for operating the rotation mechanism in response to the return instruction from the operator to rotate the frame to a position of 60° that is a first rotation position where the radiation source overlaps the columns.
