| 1. A radiographic image processing apparatus for generating synthesized image data by synthesizing a plurality of partial
radiographic images generated by radiation that has passed through the same object, comprising:
acquisition means for acquiring additional information added to each of said plurality of partial radio graphic images;
determination means for determining on the basis of the additional information acquired by said acquisition means whether
synthesis is to be permitted; and
inhibition means for inhibiting generation of the synthesized image data when said determination means determines that synthesis
is not to be permitted, wherein said determination means determines whether synthesis is to be permitted by comparing each
of the additional information added to said plurality of partial radiographic images, and wherein the additional information
includes study information and radiography date/time information of said plurality of partial radiographic images, and
when each of the study information added to said plurality of partial radiographic images do not coincide, said determination
means compares each of the radiography date/time information added to said plurality of partial radiographic images, and when
each of the radiography date/time information do not coincide, said determination means does not permit synthesis.
