Radiation image taking system

A radiation image taking system comprising:

• a tomosynthetic image taking means which takes an x-ray image of an object in each of a plurality of positions of an x-ray source to obtain a desired tomogram of the object by adding up the x-ray images thus obtained;
• a heartbeat phase detecting means which detects the heartbeat phase of the object;
• a tomosynthesis control means which controls the tomosynthetic image taking means to take an x-ray image of the object in each of the plurality of positions of the x-ray source when the heartbeat of the object detected by the heartbeat phase detecting means is in the same heartbeat phase;
• and
• a breathing phase detecting means which detects the breathing phase of the object, wherein the tomosynthesis control means controls the tomosynthetic image taking means to take an x-ray image of the object in each of the plurality of positions of the x-ray source when the heartbeat of the object detected by the heartbeat phase detecting means is in the same heartbeat phase and when the breathing of the object detected by the breathing phase detecting means is in the same breathing phase.

• a breathing phase detecting means which detects the breathing phase of the object;
• and
• a correction means which corrects at least a part of the plurality of the images taken in the plurality of positions of the x-ray source so that they are all in the same breathing phase on the basis of the breathing phases detected by the breathing phase detecting means when the images are taken.
