RADIATION IMAGE CAPTURING SYSTEM AND RADIATION IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS

A radiation image capturing system which includes a radiation image capturing apparatus including a detection part, a scan activation unit, switch units, a reading circuit, a control unit and a communication unit, a radiation generation apparatus and a console wherein the radiation image capturing apparatus switches an image capturing method between a cooperation method in which radiation image capturing is performed in cooperation with the radiation generation apparatus and a non-cooperation method in which radiation image capturing is performed without cooperation with the radiation generation apparatus, and the console switches standby time which is a time period after the radiation image capturing apparatus becomes able to perform radiation image capturing until the radiation source is allowed to emit radiation onto the radiation image capturing apparatus between the cooperation method and the non-cooperation method.
