Claim Text:
1. A radiographic image capturing apparatus comprising: a plurality of sensors arranged so as to form a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns; a driving unit configured to drive the plurality of sensors on a row-by-row basis; a detection unit configured to output a detection signal in response to a start of emission of radiation; and a control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to perform: a first control controlling the driving unit so as to repeatedly initialize the plurality of sensors on a row-by-row basis before the start of emission of radiation; and a second control controlling the driving unit so as to interrupt the initialization in response to the detection signal and cause the plurality of sensors to output signals, and the radiographic image capturing apparatus further comprises a determination unit configured to make a determination as to whether or not the detection signal is a signal that was output in response to the start of emission of radiation based on a difference between signals from sensors in a last initialized row in the first control and signals from sensors in a row other than the last initialized row from among the signals from the plurality of sensors output in the second control.
