PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique advantageous for acquiring signals from a plurality of regions of interest at high speed in AEC.SOLUTION: A radiography apparatus includes: a plurality of pixels; a plurality of drive circuits to which a plurality of row signal lines are connected to drive the plurality of pixels line by line; and a control unit. The control unit supplies a selection signal to a drive circuit group composed of two or more drive circuits, among a plurality of drive circuits, that drive detection pixels, in order to set, prior to irradiation, two or more detection pixels for measuring the dose of radiation incident from a plurality of pixels during irradiation. The control unit causes each of the drive circuits included in the drive circuit group to select a row signal line to which the detection pixel is connected from a plurality of row signal lines, and supplies a drive signal for driving a pixel connected to the row signal line selected from a plurality of row signal lines to each drive circuit included in the drive circuit group during irradiation, thereby acquiring a signal for measuring the dose of radiation incident from each of the detection pixels.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

A radiation reduction system that includes a computer and an imaging device configured to provide an image of a subject during a medical procedure using electromagnetic radiation. A variety of inputs are accepted from the medical practitioner using the computer such as subject body type, weight, and the like. These user inputs are used by the computer to determine operating settings that are transmitted to the imaging device either manually, a wired connection or wirelessly. The calculated settings are useful to generate one or more medically useful images of the subject while significantly reducing the overall radiation exposure to the subject and/or the personnel and/or medical practitioner.
