1. A control device which controls a radiography apparatus including a radiation generating unit that emits radiation and a radiation detecting unit that detects the radiation emitted from the radiation generating unit, the control device comprising:
a positional-relationship detecting unit that detects a positional relationship between the radiation generating unit and the radiation detecting unit when the radiography apparatus performs a radiographic operation; and
a control unit that controls the radiographic operation of the radiography apparatus based on the result of the detection performed by the positional-relationship detecting unit.
