A base section with wheels has attached thereto a vertical column with a height adjustable horizontal arm extending therefrom. The housing with DR detectors therein is attached to a distal end of the horizontal arm. The housing comprises a major surface made from a radiolucent material to allow the detectors to capture radiographic images via x-rays transmitted through the major surface of the housing. The housing is configured to support the plurality of DR detectors therewithin.

A correction image acquisition process includes: a first gain image acquisition process of reading a pixel signal from a pixel region irradiated with radiation in a state in which a subject is not placed to acquire a first gain image; a pre-irradiation image acquisition process of reading the pixel signal from the pixel region in a state in which the subject is not placed and the radiation is not emitted to acquire a pre-irradiation image; a discarding process of discarding charge accumulated in a pixel of the pixel region after a dose of radiation that saturates the charge is emitted in a state in which the subject is not placed; a post-irradiation image acquisition process of reading the pixel signal from the pixel region to acquire a post-irradiation image after the discarding process is performed; and a second gain image acquisition process of subtracting the pre-irradiation image from the post-irradiation image to acquire a second gain image.

A radiation image imaging apparatus which generates an image from irradiated radiation, the radiation image imaging apparatus including: a communication unit which directly communicates by wireless communication with an information processing apparatus, which performs wireless communication, and receives installation setting information transmitted from the information processing apparatus to perform a predetermined setting at a time of an installation; and a hardware processor which performs the predetermined setting of the radiation image imaging apparatus in accordance with the installation setting information received by the communication unit.
