Abstract
A radiographic image capturing apparatus, comprising a plurality of sensors arrayed on a substrate, a driving unit, a detection unit and a control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to perform a first control controlling the driving unit so as to repeatedly initialize the plurality of sensors on a row-by-row basis before a start of emission of radiation, and a second control controlling the driving unit so as to interrupt the initialization in response to a detection signal from the detection unit and cause the plurality of sensors to output signals, and the apparatus further comprises a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the detection signal is a signal which was output in response to the start of emission of radiation.
