Abstract:
1. A radiographic image capturing system comprising: a plurality of radiographic image capturing apparatus that are disposed in one image capturing chamber and are used for capturing images of a subject in a supine position or an upright position, a radiation source which outputs radiation based on an image capturing condition being shared by said plurality of image capturing apparatuses and being movable towards the subject, said plurality of radiographic image capturing apparatuses including respective radiation detecting devices each of which is placed on or in an image capturing base and converts the radiation having passed through the subject into a radiographic image; and a radiographic image acquiring apparatus including a selector configured to select one radiation detecting device of one radiographic image capturing apparatus from among the radiation detecting devices of the plurality of radiographic image capturing apparatus, an acquirer configured to acquire, based on an image capturing condition for the one radiation detecting device, a radiographic image from the one radiation detecting device and a radiographic image from another radiation detecting device which is at least one different radiation detecting device of another radiographic image capturing apparatus that differs from the one radiation detecting device, from among the radiation detecting devices of the plurality of radiographic image capturing apparatus, in a case that a subject is irradiated with the radiation, a judging section configured to judge whether or not the radiographic image from the one radiation detecting device is a significant radiographic image representative of the subject and judge whether or not the radiographic image from another radiation detecting device is a significant radiographic image in a case that the radiographic image from the one radiation detecting device is not a significant radiographic image, wherein the judging includes obtaining a significance value of a radiographic image and determining whether the significance value indicates that the radiographic image is representative of the subject, and a switcher configured to switch from the image capturing condition for the one radiation detecting device to an image capturing condition for the different detecting device, if the judging section judges that the radiographic image from the different radiation detecting device is the significant radiographic image.
