RADIANT RAY GENERATION CONTROL APPARATUS, RADIATION IMAGING SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
First Claim
1. An X-ray generation control apparatus comprising:
- a switch connection portion to which an exposure switch configured to instruct radiation emission is connectable;
an acquisition unit configured to acquire a first signal indicating that the exposure switch is pressed;
a first connection portion connected to an X-ray detector and configured to transmit a second signal output from the X-ray detector;
a second connection portion connected to an X-ray generator and configured to transmit a specific signal; and
a control unit configured to output the specific signal via the second connection portion in response to acquisition of the first signal and the second signal.
