Radiation image capturing system for controlling a plurality of image capturing apparatuses

A radiation image capturing system comprising:

• at least one first image capturing apparatus including a radiation detector for detecting a radiation which has passed through a subject in a radiation image capturing process, and converting the detected radiation into radiation image information;
• at least one second image capturing apparatus including a stimulable phosphor panel for detecting a radiation which has passed through a subject in a radiation image capturing process, converting the detected radiation into radiation image information, and carrying the radiation image information;
• at least one image reading apparatus for reading and outputting the radiation image information carried by the stimulable phosphor panel or reading, processing, and outputting the radiation image information carried by the stimulable phosphor panel;
• at least one first processor associated with the at least one first image capturing apparatus, for controlling the associated first image capturing apparatus and at least correcting radiation image information acquired by the first image capturing apparatus;
• at least one second processor associated respectively with the second image capturing apparatus and the image reading apparatus, for controlling the associated second image capturing apparatus and the image reading apparatus, and at least correcting radiation image information acquired by the image reading apparatus;
• and
• at least one control device for controlling at least the first processor and the second processor based on image capturing instruction information supplied from an external source;
• wherein the control device comprises:
• a correction controller for controlling another processor or another image reading apparatus to correct the radiation image information if the radiation image information acquired by the first image capturing apparatus cannot be corrected by the associated first processor or the radiation image information acquired by the second image capturing apparatus cannot be corrected by the associated second processor or the image reading apparatus.
