Abstract:
1. A radiographic imaging apparatus comprising: an imaging unit configured to perform a first imaging in which radiographic imaging is performed with a first X-ray dose and a second imaging in which radiographic imaging is performed at a second X-ray dose that is less than the first X-ray dose; a first execution unit configured to execute the second imaging on a periodically moving organ, wherein the first execution unit executes the second imaging at plural timings in one cycle of the periodically moving organ to obtain a plurality of images; a determination unit configured to determine a predicted timing corresponding to a particular phase in the cycle of the periodically moving organ based on changing amounts acquired from the plurality of images obtained by the first execution unit; and a second execution unit configured to execute the first imaging at the predicted timing determined by the determination unit.
