Abstract
A radiography apparatus is provided in which delays in imaging do not occur due to the influence of preliminary preparation of a radiation detector. The FPDreceives a signal from an X-ray tube control unitand then completes preliminary preparation for the detection of radiation during accelerated movement of an X-ray tubeor the FPD. That is, the accelerated movement of the X-ray tubeor the FPDand the preliminary preparation for the detection of radiation are carried out simultaneously. This enables imaging to be started immediately after the start of constant speed movement of the X-ray tubeor the FPDwithout having to wait for constant speed movement thereof to start preliminary preparation of the FPDas in conventional apparatuses. As a result, delays in imaging do not affect the radiation image.
