Patent ID: 8867702

Claim:
A radiographic image capturing system comprising: a radiation output device housing therein radiation sources for emitting radiation; a radiation detecting device for detecting radiation that has passed through a subject and converting the detected radiation into a radiographic image; a camera for acquiring an optical image of the subject; and a control device for controlling the radiation output device and the radiation detecting device, wherein the control device weights doses of the radiation emitted from the radiation sources based on the optical image, and controls the radiation output device to apply the weighted doses of the radiation from the radiation sources to the subject, and wherein the radiation output device houses therein three radiation sources, and the control device weights, based on the optical image, the doses of the radiation to be emitted from the three radiation sources, such that the dose of the radiation emitted from a central one of the radiation sources is of a maximum dose level, and the doses of the radiation emitted from the radiation sources at opposite ends are of a lower dose level, or the doses of the radiation emitted from the radiation sources at opposite ends are of a maximum dose level, and the dose of the radiation emitted from a central one of the radiation sources is of a lower dose level.
