  • Publication number: 20140124678
    Abstract: A radiation imaging system includes a portable radiation imaging device, a radiation generating device, a console and a portable terminal. When the console receives data for preview image from the radiation imaging device before receiving a completion signal from the portable terminal the console transmits a cancel signal to the radiation imaging device, stops a process which is being performed by the radiation imaging device, and makes the radiation imaging device resume detection of whether irradiation has started. When the console receives the data for preview image from the radiation imaging device after receiving the completion signal from the portable terminal, the console generates a preview image on the basis of the data for preview image.
