Abstract:
1. An apparatus connectable to an X-ray detector adapted to acquire an X-ray image by a plurality of detecting elements which acquire electrical signals if X-rays are irradiated thereon from an X-ray generator, comprising: a first obtaining unit adapted to obtain output timing of a control signal for changing a generating status of the X-rays in the X-ray generator based on a signal from the X-ray generator; a second obtaining unit adapted to obtain change timing of the generating status of the X-rays in response to the control signal based on output from the X-ray detector on which the X-rays are irradiated that are generated by the X-ray generator in response to the control signal; and a third obtaining unit adapted to obtain a delay time of operation associated with the X-ray generator based on the output timing of the control signal and the change timing.
