Patent ID: 8727619

Claim:
A radiographic image capturing system, comprising: a radiographic image capturing apparatus that is provided with a plurality of radiation detecting elements arranged in a two dimensional pattern, so as to reads out each of electric signals, generated in each of the radiation detecting elements by irradiating radiation thereon, as image data; a radiation source to emit the radiation to be irradiated onto the radiographic image capturing apparatus; a cradle that is provided in an image capturing room or a front room; and a console to create a radiographic image based on the image data transmitted from the radiographic image capturing apparatus; wherein the cradle reads out first α-correction data, established at a time of factory default setting operation, and second α*-correction data, established corresponding to the radiation source currently residing in the image capturing mom, from the radiographic image capturing apparatus, which is currently inserted into the cradle, so as to store the first α-correction data and the second α*-correction data therein; and wherein, when a radiographic image capturing apparatus for replacement use, serving as a replacement use apparatus for the radiographic image capturing apparatus, is inserted into the cradle, the cradle reads out first β-correction data, established at a time of factory default setting operation, from the radiographic image capturing apparatus for replacement use, and then, based on the first β-correction data read from the radiographic image capturing apparatus for replacement use, and the first α-correction data and second β*-correction data, both read from the radiographic image capturing apparatus, serving as an original apparatus, the cradle calculates second β*-correction data corresponding to the radiation source currently residing in the image capturing room, so as to establish the second β*-correction data above-calculated in regard to the radiographic image capturing apparatus for replacement use.
