Abstract: An image processing device includes: a communicator that executes external communication via a communication path; a hardware processor that detects a threat in the image processing device, and cuts off the communication by the communicator upon detecting the threat; a transmitter that executes communication, after the hardware processor detects the threat, to transmit a notification that the threat has been detected to a defined destination via another communication path; and a receiver that executes communication to receive communication restoration trigger information via another communication path. Once the receiver receives the communication restoration trigger information, the hardware processor executes a communication control to restore the communication by the communicator.

Abstract: A radiation imaging control apparatus includes a hardware processor and an operator. The hardware processor obtains an examination order and one or a plurality of radiation irradiating parameters corresponding to each examination order. The examination order to be executed is selected using the operator. When the examination order is selected on the operator, the hardware processor determines a selecting condition according to a priority setting from a plurality of selecting conditions, and selects a radiation irradiating parameter for the examination order from one or a plurality of radiation irradiating parameters according to the determined selecting condition.
