Abstract

A radiographic image capturing stand includes: a plurality of radiographic image capturing parts, each of which forms a radiographic image by being exposed to a radiation ray, and the radiographic image capturing stand being capable of switching between a single image capturing state in which image capturing is performed with the single radiographic image capturing part held with respect to one exposure to a radiation ray, and a long-length image capturing state in which image capturing is performed with the plurality of radiographic image capturing parts held side by side with respect to one exposure to a radiation ray.

Claims

1. A radiographic image capturing stand comprising:

a plurality of radiographic image capturing parts, each of which forms a radiographic image by being exposed to a radiation ray, and the radiographic image capturing stand being capable of switching between a single image capturing state in which image capturing is performed with the single radiographic image capturing part held with respect to one exposure to a radiation ray, and a long-length image capturing state in which image capturing is performed with the plurality of radiographic image capturing parts held side by side with respect to one exposure to a radiation ray.

2. The radiographic image capturing stand according to claim 1, further comprising:

a first holding part that stores and holds the single radiographic image capturing part;

a second holding part that stores and holds the plurality of radiographic image capturing parts side by side; and

a coupler that removably fixes and mounts the second holding part to an outer edge part of the first holding part.

3. The radiographic image capturing stand according to claim 1, further comprising:

a first holding part that stores and holds the single radiographic image capturing part;

a second holding part that stores and holds the plurality of radiographic image capturing parts side by side; and

a coupler that removably fixes and mounts the first holding part to the front side of the second holding part.

4. The radiographic image capturing stand according to claim 1, further comprising:

a first holding part that stores and holds the single radiographic image capturing part;

a second holding part that is provided adjacently to the first holding part, and that stores and holds the other radiographic image capturing parts; and

a coupler that tunably connects the second holding part to one end part of the first holding part so as to allow the second holding part to turn about the one end part of the first holding part, thereby enabling a state in which the second holding part and the first holding part both face forward and are arranged to form a line, and a state in which the second holding part is folded back to be switched.

5. The radiographic image capturing stand according to claim 1, further comprising:

a first holding part that stores and holds the single radiographic image capturing part;

a second holding part that stores and holds the plurality of radiographic image capturing parts side by side; and

a supporter that rotatably supports the first holding part and the second holding part in such a manner that the first holding part and the second holding part are arranged back to back with each other so as to direct the radiographic image capturing part of the first holding part and the radiographic image capturing part of the second holding part in directions opposite to each other, and the radiographic image capturing part of the first holding part and the radiographic image capturing part of the second holding part selectively face forward.

6. The radiographic image capturing stand according to claim 1, further comprising:

a grip that allows a subject who is subjected to radiographic image capturing to hold on thereto.
