Abstract:
1. A radiation imaging apparatus comprising: an electronic cassette and an imaging stand or an imaging table for detachably mounting said electronic cassette thereon, said electronic cassette having a flat panel detector for detecting a radiographic image and a housing containing said flat panel detector, said radiation imaging apparatus further comprising: an irradiation surface formed in a surface of said housing, for receiving irradiation with radiation; a connection terminal provided in a first side surface of said housing, said first side surface being orthogonal to said irradiation surface; an imaging surface provided in said imaging stand or imaging table, said imaging surface facing said irradiation surface in a state where said electronic cassette is mounted on said imaging stand or imaging table; first and second catch members provided in said imaging stand or imaging table, said first catch member having a first catch surface that comes in contact with said first side surface of said housing, said second catch member having a second catch surface that comes in contact with a second side surface opposed to said first side surface, said first and second catch surfaces catching said electronic cassette so as to hold said electronic cassette in a state of facing said irradiation surface to said imaging surface; a connector provided in said first catch member, said connector being connected to said connection terminal when said electronic cassette is held on said imaging stand or imaging table; and a recess provided in said first catch surface, for containing said connector, wherein said connector is movable between a retracted position in which said connector is not projected from said first catch surface and a projected position in which said connector is projected from said first catch surface, said connector is moved to said projected position upon being connected to said connection terminal, and a movement of said connector in a direction orthogonal to a direction from said retracted position to said projected position is regulated by said first catch member.
