Abstract:
1. A radiation imaging apparatus comprising: a radiation flat panel detector having a radiation incident surface configured to detect radiation incident thereupon and to generate a radiation image; a control unit configured to control the radiation flat panel detector; a heat insulation member arranged between the radiation flat panel detector and the control unit; an external housing configured to accommodate the flat panel detector, the heat insulating member, and the control unit; a first heat transfer member configured to transfer heat from the radiation flat panel detector to a first surface of the external housing; and a second heat transfer member configured to transfer heat from the control unit to a second surface of the external housing different from the first surface, wherein the heat insulation member is arranged between the first heat transfer member and the second heat transfer member, and wherein the first heat transfer member includes a side surface and a front surface, the side surface is positioned inside the external housing at an outer side of the radiation flat panel detector, the front surface is arranged opposite to the radiation incident surface of the radiation flat panel detector, and an area of the front surface is larger than an area of the radiation incident surface of the radiation flat panel detector such that the first heat transfer member holds the radiation flat panel detector within the external housing.
