Abstract
An X-ray imaging system includes an X-ray sensor having an imaging section for picking up an X-ray image, and a controller for controlling the X-ray sensor and processing an image supplied by the X-ray sensor. The X-ray sensor has a non-volatile storage device for storing information by which the controller specifies conditions of imaging performed by the imaging section, and the controller has a decision unit for reading out the information stored on the non-volatile storage device and deciding, on the basis of the information, a method of controlling the X-ray sensor and/or content of processing executed by the controller.
