1. A radiation imaging system comprising a first hardware processor that executes control such that, before main imaging is executed at a main dose, pre-imaging is executed at a pre-dose that is lower than the main dose,
the first hardware processor being configured to execute the control in a pre-image checking mode and a short time imaging mode,
the first hardware processor deriving an imaging condition for the main imaging based on a pre-image acquired in the pre-imaging, switching a control mode to one of the pre-image checking mode and the short-time imaging mode before pre-imaging is executed, and notifying which control mode between the pre-image checking mode and the short-time imaging mode is used to execute the control, wherein the first hardware processor switches the control mode based on imaging attribute information including at least one of imaging technique information, subject attribute information, radiographer information, imaging purpose and place information, and usage device information,
upon the first hardware processor executing the control in the pre-image checking mode, the first hardware processor displays the pre-image after executing the pre-imaging, waits for operation of an irradiating instruction switch after executing the pre-imaging, and executes the main imaging after the irradiating instruction switch is operated, and
upon the first hardware processor executing the control in the short-time imaging mode, the first hardware processor does not display the pre-image after executing the pre-imaging and automatically executes the main imaging.
