PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To uniformly extend a breast placed on an imaging table without using hands of an engineer.SOLUTION: A radiographic imaging apparatus includes: the imaging table to place the breast of a subject while the subject faces the table an irradiation part for irradiating the breast placed on the imaging table with radiation a film shape pressure member for covering the breast placed on the imaging table from above thereby to pressurize the breast against the imaging table and a pair of sending members which are extended in the front and rear directions of the subject facing the imaging table, whose both ends in the right and left direction of the subject in the pressure member are respectively wound, and which send the pressure member by rotation while being mutually separated in the right and left directions in a state where the breast is pressurized via the pressure member, move downward, and allow the pressure member to pressurize the breast.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】技師の手を用いなくても、撮影台に載せられた乳房を均一に引き伸ばすことができるようにする。【解決手段】被験者が正対した状態で当該被験者の乳房が載せられる撮影台と、前記撮影台に載せられた乳房に放射線を照射する照射部と、前記撮影台に載せられた乳房を上方から覆って当該乳房を前記撮影台へ圧迫するためのフィルム状の圧迫部材と、前記撮影台に対して正対した状態における被験者の前後方向に沿って延び、前記圧迫部材における当該被験者の左右方向の両端部のそれぞれが巻かれ、前記圧迫部材を介して前記乳房を押圧した状態で前記左右方向に沿って互いが離間しながら回転により前記圧迫部材を送り出し、下方に移動して前記圧迫部材で前記乳房を圧迫させる一対の送出部材と、を備える。【選択図】図7
