A radiographic image capturing apparatus comprising: a radiation source for applying radiation to an object to be examined (22, 22r, 221) of a subject; a radiation detector for detecting radiation that has passed through the object to be examined (22, 22r, 221), and for converting the detected radiation into a radiographic image; an image capturing base housing the radiation detector therein; and a compression plate, which is displaceable toward the image capturing base to compress and secure the object to be examined (22, 22r, 221) on the image capturing base, wherein the object to be examined (22, 22r, 221) is compressed and secured between the compression plate and the image capturing base at a position off-center toward a direction along the subject from a central position of the image capturing base near the subject and from a vertical axis of the image capturing base passing through the central position, the compression plate has an opening that is defined therein at a position confronting a biopsy region of the object to be examined (22, 22r, 221) and being off-center toward the direction along the subject from the central position and the vertical axis, the radiation source irradiates the object to be examined (22, 22r, 221) and the opening with the radiation from a central angle of the radiation source and from a predetermined angle that is angularly spaced from the central angle toward the object to be examined (22, 22r, 221) about the central position such that the radiation source faces the object to be examined (22, 22r, 221), the central angle being aligned with the vertical axis, and captures two images the radiation detector detects the radiation that has passed through the object to be examined (22, 22r, 221) and acquires two radiographic images corresponding to the central angle and the predetermined angle, and the radiographic image capturing apparatus further comprising a region-of-interest position information calculator that calculates a three-dimensional position of a region of interest within the object to be examined (22, 22r, 221) based on the two radiographic images, and a biopsy needle capable of passing through the opening, piercing the biopsy region, and removing a tissue sample from the biopsy region, based on the two radiographic images. a radiation source for applying radiation to an object to be examined (22, 22r, 221) of a subject; a radiation detector for detecting radiation that has passed through the object to be examined (22, 22r, 221), and for converting the detected radiation into a radiographic image; an image capturing base housing the radiation detector therein; and a compression plate, which is displaceable toward the image capturing base to compress and secure the object to be examined (22, 22r, 221) on the image capturing base, wherein the object to be examined (22, 22r, 221) is compressed and secured between the compression plate and the image capturing base at a position off-center toward a direction along the subject from a central position of the image capturing base near the subject and from a vertical axis of the image capturing base passing through the central position, the compression plate has an opening that is defined therein at a position confronting a biopsy region of the object to be examined (22, 22r, 221) and being off-center toward the direction along the subject from the central position and the vertical axis, the radiation source irradiates the object to be examined (22, 22r, 221) and the opening with the radiation from a central angle of the radiation source and from a predetermined angle that is angularly spaced from the central angle toward the object to be examined (22, 22r, 221) about the central position such that the radiation source faces the object to be examined (22, 22r, 221), the central angle being aligned with the vertical axis, and captures two images the radiation detector detects the radiation that has passed through the object to be examined (22, 22r, 221) and acquires two radiographic images corresponding to the central angle and the predetermined angle, and the radiographic image capturing apparatus further comprising a region-of-interest position information calculator that calculates a three-dimensional position of a region of interest within the object to be examined (22, 22r, 221) based on the two radiographic images, and a biopsy needle capable of passing through the opening, piercing the biopsy region, and removing a tissue sample from the biopsy region, based on the two radiographic images.
