X-ray imaging system, X-ray imaging method, and X-ray imaging control apparatus

An X-ray imaging control apparatus in an X-ray imaging system that performs X-ray imaging by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and general imaging by using an X-ray emitter capable of individually emitting a plurality of X-rays having different energies and a portable X-ray detector that captures an X-ray image based on an X-ray emitted by the X-ray emitter, the X-ray imaging control apparatus comprising

• a hardware processor that provides a first notification related to capturing of a calibration image by the X-ray detector under a predetermined condition, wherein
• the hardware processor determines whether X-ray imaging to be performed is X-ray imaging by the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry or general imaging, and
• the hardware processor provides the first notification under the predetermined condition when the X-ray imaging to be performed is X-ray imaging by the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
