Abstract
A mammography apparatus includes a radiation source driver that moves a radiation source to a plurality of imaging positions including a first imaging position where LE imaging of emitting radiation R with low energy from the radiation source to capture a radiation image is performed, and a second imaging position where the LE imaging and HE imaging of emitting radiation R with high energy to capture a radiation image are performed, and a controller that causes a radiation detector to perform the LE imaging at the first imaging position in a state where the radiation source is moved, and causes the radiation detector to perform the LE imaging and the HE imaging at the second imaging position in a state where the movement of the radiation source is stopped or the radiation source is moved at a moving speed slower than that at the first imaging position.
