Patent ID: 8536535

Claim:
A radiation image capturing system comprising: a radiation image capturing apparatus comprising: a detecting section including: a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of signal lines provided to cross each other; and a plurality of radiation detection elements arranged in a two-dimensional array in small regions partitioned by the plurality of scanning lines and the plurality of signal lines; a scanning drive unit which sequentially applies on-voltage to each of the scanning lines by switching the scanning lines to which the on-voltage is applied; switch units each connected to each of the scanning lines so as to discharge electric charge accumulated in the radiation detection elements to the signal lines when the on-voltage is applied; a reading circuit for converting the electric charge discharged from the radiation detection elements, into image data to read the image data; a control device for controlling at least the scanning drive unit and the reading circuit to perform processing of reading the image data from the radiation detection elements; and a communication unit for exchanging signals with an external device; and an image processing apparatus for generating a radiation image based on the image data sent from the radiation image capturing apparatus, wherein the control device is configured to detect a start of irradiation when data read by the reading circuit exceeds a threshold value, and wherein the image processing apparatus is configured to analyze a profile of the image data in a direction of extension of each of the signal lines, to identify a scope of the image data containing a defect caused by an escape of the electric charge which occurs by the detection of the start of irradiation, and to repair the image data in the identified scope.
