Apparatus, method and computer-readable medium storing program for radiographic imaging with elapsed time control of radiation sensor apparatus

A radiographic imaging control apparatus, comprising:

• a processor configured to function as:
• a control unit configured to perform a first control to cause a radiation sensor to transit into a storage state, where electric charges can be stored, in response to a determination that a predetermined time elapses since a predetermined instruction is input, and to perform a third control to cause the radiation sensor (a) to transit into the storage state in response to a first signal received from an interface that can communicate with a radiation generating apparatus and (b) to transmit a second signal, which causes the radiation generating apparatus to generate radioactive rays, via the interface in response to transition into the storage state;
• a setting unit configured to set either the first control or the third control as a control to be performed;
• and
• an obtaining unit configured to obtain radiation image data from the radiation sensor that has transited into the storage state based on the control set by the setting unit.

A radiographic imaging control method, comprising:

• detecting a start of generation of radioactive rays by using a detecting circuit of a radiation sensor configured to detect the start of generation of radioactive rays;
• setting a control to be performed between a first control to cause the radiation sensor to transit into a storage state, where electric charges can be stored, in response to a determination that a predetermined time elapses since a predetermined instruction is input, and a second control to cause the radiation sensor to transit into the storage state in response to a signal received from the detection circuit;
• performing the control set by the setting step;
• and
• obtaining radiation image data from the radiation sensor that has transited into the storage state based on the performed control.
