PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform best AEC according to a situation because the output format of the signal for the automatic exposure control is selectively switched to a detection signal or an exposure termination signal according to the installation convenience preference type and an installation convenience non-preference type.SOLUTION: A storage and search unit of a console 14 acquires a source ID of an X-ray source 10 and searches for and extracts a type corresponding to the acquired source ID from source information of a storage device. In the case of an installation convenience preference type in which convenience in connection between a source controller and an electronic cassette is preferred, a detection signal from a detection pixel of an FPD of the electronic cassette 13 is output from a detection signal I/F of the electronic cassette 13 to a detection signal I/F 26 of the source controller 11. In the case of an installation convenience non-preference type, an irradiation stop signal based on the comparison result of the integrated value of the detection signal from the detection pixel with an irradiation-stop threshold is output from an irradiation signal I/F of the electronic cassette 13 to an irradiation signal I/F 27 of the source controller 11.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】状況に応じて最適なAECを行う。【解決手段】コンソール14の格納・検索処理部はX線源10の線源IDを取得し、取得した線源IDに対応するタイプをストレージデバイスの線源情報から検索、抽出する。線源制御装置と電子カセッテ間の接続の簡便性を重視する設置簡便性優先タイプであった場合、電子カセッテ13のFPDの検出画素からの検出信号が電子カセッテ13の検出信号I/Fから線源制御装置11の検出信号I/F26に出力される。X線画像の画質を重視する設置簡便性非優先タイプであった場合、検出画素からの検出信号の積算値と照射停止閾値の比較結果に応じた照射停止信号が電子カセッテ13の照射信号I/Fから線源制御装置11の照射信号I/F27に出力される。【選択図】図2
