Patent attributes
A radiographing control apparatus includes a hardware processor. A radiographic imaging apparatus is exposed to a radiation from an irradiating apparatus through the subject. The hardware processor retrieves pre-exposure image data which the radiographic imaging apparatus generates by performing a pre-exposure to the subject at a pre-exposure dose of less than a dose of a subsequent main exposure, and calculates a total dose required to obtain diagnostic image data to be used for diagnosis. The hardware processor outputs a main exposure dose based on the calculated total dose to the irradiating apparatus and the radiographic imaging apparatus. The hardware processor retrieves main exposure image data which the radiographic imaging apparatus generates by performing the main exposure to the subject at the main exposure dose, and combines the main exposure image data with the pre-exposure image data to generate the diagnostic image data.
