In causing the display screen to display a list of information on an examination that is set for a patient and that relates to taking a radiographic image, the hardware processor causes the display screen to display, in a display area, an imaging item that is included in the examination and categorized into a category based on a set categorization criterion, separating the imaging item by the category. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A radiography control apparatus, comprising: a display that includes a display screen; and a hardware processor, wherein the hardware processor causes the display screen to display a list of information on an examination that is set for a patient and that relates to taking a radiographic image, and causes the display screen to display, in a display area, an imaging item that is included in the examination and categorized into a category based on a set categorization criterion, separating the imaging item by the category. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The radiography control apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising an operation receiver, wherein the hardware processor sets the categorization criterion according to an input operation received by the operation receiver and causes the display screen to display the imaging item. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The radiography control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the imaging item includes multiple imaging items that belong to different categories each of which is the category, and the hardware processor causes the display screen to display the imaging items such that the imaging items are separated in different subareas. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The radiography control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the imaging item includes multiple imaging items that belong to different categories each of which is the category, and the hardware processor causes the display screen to display the imaging items such that the imaging items are separated by a predetermined separating icon in the display area. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The radiography control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the category includes multiple categories, the imaging item includes multiple imaging items, and the hardware processor causes the display screen to display indications that indicate the categories in respective display regions into which the imaging items are separated. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The radiography control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the imaging item includes multiple imaging items that are set individually and that have an identical content and that belong to an identical category, and the hardware processor causes the display screen to display one of the imaging items in the identical category. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The radiography control apparatus according to claim 6, further comprising an operation receiver, wherein in response to radiography being performed for any of the imaging items having the identical content, the hardware processor determines that radiography has been performed for all the imaging items having the identical content. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The radiography control apparatus according to claim 6, wherein, in displaying all the imaging items having the identical content, the hardware processor causes the display screen to display an indication that indicates that the imaging items having the identical content are set to have duplicate imaging contents. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The radiography control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the hardware processor switches a display content of the display area by the category. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The radiography control apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the category includes multiple categories, and in switching the display content of the display area, the hardware processor causes the display screen to display, in the display area, a switching icon for switching the display content to a display content of a not-displayed category among the categories, and in response to the not-displayed category including an imaging item for which radiography has not been performed, causes the display screen to display a predetermined indication that is associated with the switching icon. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) A radiography system comprising: the radiography control apparatus according to claim 1; and a radiographic-image taking apparatus that takes the radiographic image. ### Claim 12 A display control method for displaying, on a display, information on an examination that relates to taking a radiographic image, the method comprising: item displaying that is, in causing a display screen of the display to display a list of the information on the examination that is set for a patient, causing the display screen to display, in a display area, an imaging item that is included in the examination and categorized into a category based on a set categorization criterion such that the imaging item is separated by the category. ### Claim 13 A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program that causes a computer including a display with a display screen to display, on the display screen, a list of information on an examination that is set for a patient and that relates to taking a radiographic image, wherein the computer displays, in a display area, an imaging item that is included in the examination and categorized into a category based on a set categorization criterion, separating the imaging item by the category.
