Original Abstract Submitted

A radiation imaging apparatus having a function of detecting a start and an end of emission of radiation and an amount of emission of radiation includes a plurality of pixels configured to generate signals according to a dose of radiation, signal lines connected to the plurality of pixels, a reading circuit configured to read the signals from the pixels via the signal lines and generate values according to the signals, and a control unit configured to control an operation of the reading circuit. A row including a pixel from which a signal has been read during the emission of radiation is not read when a diagnosis image is generated.
