Radiation image capturing system
First Claim
1. A radiation image capturing system comprising:
- a radiation source for outputting a radiation;
a radiation detecting cassette housing therein a radiation conversion panel for detecting the radiation that has passed through a subject and converting the detected radiation into radiation image information;
a distance detecting unit for detecting a distance between said radiation source and said radiation detecting cassette; and
a determining unit for determining whether or not the detected distance matches a predetermined distance from said radiation source to said radiation detecting cassette when a radiation image of the subject is captured.

Abstract
A signal detector detects signals transmitted from signal generators disposed in a radiation detecting cassette, and a distance calculator calculates the distance between a radiation source and a radiation detector based on the signals detected by the signal detector. A determining unit determines whether the detected distance matches a predetermined distance from the radiation source to the radiation detector when a radiation image is captured. If the detected distance does not match the predetermined distance, the determining unit outputs, to a warning unit, a warning signal indicating that the detected distance does not match the predetermined distance, and also outputs a control signal for equalizing the detected distance with the predetermined distance, to a radiation source movement controller.
