Abstract:
1. An imaging system comprising: an imaging apparatus including a detector which performs an image capturing operation to output image data corresponding to radiation or light that is emitted to a plurality of pixels of the detector each including a conversion element, and a control unit that controls operations including the image capturing operation of the detector; and a control computer configured to control the imaging apparatus, wherein the image capturing operation includes a first output operation in which the detector is scanned in a first scanning area corresponding to part of the plurality of pixels to output image data in the first scanning area, and a second output operation in which the detector is scanned in a second scanning area larger than the first scanning area to output image data in the second scanning area, wherein, if switching from the first scanning area to the second scanning area is performed, the control computer supplies a control signal to the control unit so that an image artifact caused by the scanning area is reduced.
