Abstract:
1. An X-ray image taking system, comprising: an X-ray image taking device including a sensor that receives an X-ray on an image taking region thereof and converts the received X-ray into image data; an X-ray detecting unit that receives the X-ray and transmits a signal in accordance with the reception of an X-ray, and is configured for separating the X-ray detecting unit from the X-ray image taking device and for being provided outside the image taking region of the sensor; a driving unit for moving the image taking device; a control unit that receives the signal transmitted from the X-ray detecting unit, and transmits a stop instruction signal to the drive unit so as to stop a movement of the image taking device, on the basis of a timing when a charge accumulation operation executed on the sensor completes and a post-delay period which is measured in advance, wherein the control unit sets the post-delay period to a period from a time when an X-ray irradiation operation is negated and a time when the control unit ends the reception of the signal transmitted from the X-ray detecting unit; and a connecting mechanism that externally connects the X-ray detecting unit with the X-ray image taking device.
