1. A mobile radiation imaging apparatus comprising:
- a radiation generation unit configured to generate radiation;
a cart;
a supporting member formed on the cart and including an arm which holds the radiation generation unit and is extendable in a horizontal direction;
a detection unit configured to detect arrangement of the radiation generation unit at a storage position;
a control unit configured to limit a motion of the supporting member according to a detection result by the detection unit; and
a monitor provided on an upper face side of the cart,wherein, when arrangement of the radiation generation unit at the storage position is detected by the detection unit, the control unit limits an extension motion of the arm in the horizontal direction while simultaneously allowing an upward motion of the arm in a vertical direction.

27. A control method for a mobile radiation generating apparatus, the apparatus including a radiation generation unit, a cart, a supporting member formed on the cart and having an extendable arm which holds the radiation generation unit, and a monitor provided on an upper face side of the cart, the method comprising:
-
detecting, with a detecting unit, an arrangement of the radiation generation unit in at a storage position; and limiting a motion of a supporting member which arranges the radiation generation unit and sets an irradiated range of radiation according to a result of the detecting, wherein, when arrangement of the radiation generation unit at the storage position is detected by the detection unit, the limiting step includes limiting an extension motion of the extendable arm in a horizontal direction while simultaneously allowing an upward motion of the arm in a vertical direction.

28. A mobile radiation imaging apparatus comprising:
-
a radiation generation unit configured to generate radiation; a cart; a supporting member formed on the cart and including an arm which holds the radiation generation unit and is rotatable to tilt the radiation generation unit; a detection unit configured to detect arrangement of the radiation generation unit at a storage position; a control unit configured to limit a motion of the supporting member according to a detection result by the detection unit; and a monitor provided on an upper face side of the cart, wherein, when arrangement of the radiation generation unit at the storage position is detected by the detection unit, the control unit limits a rotational motion of the radiation generation unit while simultaneously allowing an upward motion of the arm in a vertical direction.
