A mobile type radiographic apparatus is provided, which can inhibit damage to a detecting device as much as possible. This invention provides a storage holder for storing an FPD, and catches for fixing the FPD to the storage holder so that the FPD stored cannot be taken out of the storage holder. Further, this invention provides a carriage movement controller which, when a carriage is about to be moved while the FPD is not in a locked state, notifies the operator to that effect. Consequently, the operator will become aware of having forgotten to lock the FPD when moving the carriage. This construction assures that the FPD is in a fixed state, whereby the FPD is never damaged during traveling of the carriage.

Mobile type radiographic apparatus

An X-ray equipment includes a movable carriage, an X-ray tube for irradiating an X-ray on a subject, and a cassette storage box for storing a cassette with a radiographic storage medium such as a film. In the X-ray equipment, when the cassette storage box is pulled and tilted, a gateway for the cassette is opened. When the cassette storage box is pushed back, the gateway is closed. The X-ray equipment further includes a storage box locking device for locking the cassette storage box in a state where the gateway is closed and for unlocking the cassette storage box when the locked state is released, and a locking release holding device for holding the storage box locking device in a released state.

An auto-lock switching device is also attached to the storage box locking device for switching the storage box locking device from the released state to the locked state when the cassette storage box is closed.

An x-ray diagnostic instrument for taking an X-ray photograph of a patient includes a condition detecting device for detecting a condition of the instrument; a display device for displaying light in multicolor or flushing light; a memory device for storing predetermined display mode data of the display device for each condition of the instrument; and a control device for controlling the display device based on the display mode data stored in the memory device corresponding to a result from the condition detecting device.

X-ray diagnostic instrument

An X-ray device includes a cart, a pole vertically provided on the cart, and a telescopic-type extendable supporting arm. The extendable supporting arm is formed of a hollow first arm with one end attached to the pole, a hollow second arm inserted in the first arm to be horizontally movable therein, and a third arm inserted in the second arm to be horizontally movable therein. Also, an X-ray tube device is provided on one end of the third arm. The extendable supporting arm has a synchronous moving mechanism for horizontally moving the third arm according to a horizontal movement of the second arm, and an extension/contraction operating handle attached to the second arm.
