Abstract: A radiation imaging system includes a first hardware processor. The first hardware processor executes control such that before main imaging is executed at a main dose, pre-imaging is executed at a pre-dose that is lower than the main dose. The first hardware processor derives an imaging condition for the main imaging based on a pre-image acquired in the pre-imaging, switches a control mode to one of a pre-image checking mode and a short-time imaging mode, and notifies which control mode between the pre-image checking mode and the short-time imaging mode is used to execute the control. The pre-image checking mode being a mode in which the pre-image is displayed after executing the pre-imaging. The short-time imaging mode being a mode in which the pre-image is not displayed after executing the pre-imaging before the main imaging.
