Patent ID: 8546777

Claim:
A radiographic image capturing device comprising: a radiation detector that has a plurality of sensor portions in which electric charges are generated as a result of being irradiated with radiation and which store the generated electric charges; a detection circuit that reads out, as electrical signals, electric charge quantities stored in each of the sensor portions of the radiation detector, converts the electrical signals it has read out into digital data, and detects image data representing a radiographic image; a receiver that receives external electrical power; a power source that is charged by the electrical power received by the receiver and that supplies electrical power for driving at least the radiation detector and the detection circuit; and a controller which, in the case of performing video imaging in which imaging is performed continuously, controls the detection circuit so as to allow electric charges to be stored in a predetermined storage period in each of the sensor portions of the radiation detector in each imaging and thereafter to read out the stored electric charges, and which performs control such that, in the storage period of each imaging, the controller stops at least one of the charging of the power source with the electrical power received by the receiver or the reception of the electrical power from the outside by the receiver, and performs control such that, in periods between the storage period of each imaging, the controller charges the power source with the electrical power received by the receiver.
