PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mammographic apparatus capable of capturing a radiographic image of a breast with a low dose without using a compression plate.SOLUTION: A breast absorption surface 12 having a plurality of small suction holes is formed in a front central portion of the surface of the side of a breast rest 11 on which a breast is placed, such that the suction holes are made in communication with a hollow area 13 inside the breast rest 11. After a breast is placed on the breast adsorption surface 12, the hollow area 13 inside the breast rest 11 is negatively pressurized to apply a suction force to the breast on the breast adsorption surface 12 through the suction holes in the breast adsorption surface 12.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】圧迫板を用いずに、乳房の放射線画像の撮影を低線量で行える乳房撮影装置を提供する。【解決手段】乳房保持台11の乳房が載せられる側の表面の先端側中央部分に、複数の微細な吸引孔を有する乳房吸着面12を形成し、当該吸引孔と、乳房保持台11の内部の中空の領域13とを連通させる。そして、乳房吸着面12の上に乳房が載せられた状態にした後、乳房保持台11の内部の中空の領域13の圧力を負圧にし、乳房吸着面12の吸引孔より、乳房吸着面12の上に載せられた乳房に対して吸引力を働かせる。【選択図】図3
