Abstract
A cassette accommodating device accommodates casings of a plurality of sizes. Each casing is detachably inserted with a cassette installed with a rechargeable battery and a radiation detection unit that is supplied with power from the rechargeable battery and generates a radiographic image according to an amount of received radiation. Each casing is provided on at least one of two connected side faces with a power receiving unit that receives power for charging the rechargeable battery. The device comprises a groove portion, formed with a sloping face that faces one of the two side faces of an accommodated casing, and a bottom face that faces the other of the two side faces of the accommodated casing. The bottom face is inclined such that the casing moves toward the sloping face when the casing is accommodated. A power supply unit is formed to the sloping face and/or the bottom face so as to supply power to the power receiving unit when the casing has been accommodated.
