Abstract:
A system for obtaining a radiation image of an object, comprising:a radiation image-sensing unit which has a plurality of photoelectric converting elements; a control unit which controls a state of said radiation image-sensing unit; and a detecting unit which detects irradiation of radiation, wherein first switching is defined as switching of the state from a preparation state in which preparation for image-sensing is performed, to an image-sensing state in which the image sensing is performed by storing image information in said radiation image-sensing unit, and second switching is defined as switching of the state from the image-sensing state to an output state in which an output of image data is enabled, wherein said control unit transmits a signal to a radiation control unit, in sync with the first switching, so that the radiation is emitted, and wherein said control unit performs the second switching based on an output of said detecting unit.
