ABSTRACT:
A radiographic image capturing apparatus captures consecutive radiographic images on the basis of the radiation intensity distribution transmitted through a subject, and extracts lung field parts from the captured consecutive radiographic images. A fluctuation condition is detected from the extracted lung field parts, and whether or not the respiratory condition of the subject is suited to radiograph a respiratory behavior of interest is determined on the basis of the detected fluctuation condition.
