Abstract:
1. A radiographic imaging apparatus comprising: a radiation detector detachable with respect to a base member and for detecting radiation transmitted through an object in one of plural image capturing modes, said plural image capturing modes including a moving image capturing mode and a still image capturing mode; a detection unit configured to detect a shift from one of said plural image capturing modes to another mode of said plural image capturing modes in said radiation detector; a cooling mechanism configured to cool said radiation detector in one of a first cooling mode and a second cooling mode having a higher cooling capacity than the first cooling mode; and a control unit configured to switch the cooling modes of said cooling mechanism in response to detection by said detection unit, wherein said radiation detector is operable in the moving image capturing mode in a case in which said radiation detector is mounted in the base member and is configured to operate in the still image capturing mode in a case in which said radiation detector is removed from the base member, and wherein said control unit is configured to cause said cooling mechanism to operate in the second cooling mode in response to said detection unit detecting a shift from the moving image capturing mode to the still image capturing mode, and is configured to cause said cooling mechanism to operate in the first cooling mode in response to said detection unit detecting a shift from the still image capturing mode to the moving image capturing mode.
