PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a radiation imaging apparatus capable of wholly extending the breast placed on a photographing stand without using the technical work of a medical engineer.SOLUTION: A control part moves a pressure member 60 toward a nipple from walls of the chest and rotates a support shaft 64 in the direction shown by the arrow C. By this constitution, the edge of one spiral groove 60A extends the nipple N in the width direction and the edge of the other spiral groove 60B extend the nipple N to the other side of the width direction. As a result, the nipple N placed on the photographing stand 22 can be wholly extended without using the technical work of the medical engineer.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】技師の手を用いずに、撮影台に載せられた乳房を全体的に引き伸ばすことができる放射線撮像装置を得る。【解決手段】制御部は、押圧部材60を胸壁側から乳頭側へ移動させると共に、支持シャフト64を矢印C方向に回転させる。これにより、一の螺旋溝60Aのエッジが乳房Nを幅方向一側に押し広げ、他の螺旋溝60Bのエッジが乳房Nを幅方向他側に押し広げる。これにより、技師の手を用いずに、撮影台22に載せられた乳房Nを全体的に引き伸ばすことができる。【選択図】図1
