Abstract:
There is provided a radiographic imaging apparatus capable of alignment of a detector with a collimator with a position of a radiation source fixed. The radiographic imaging apparatus includes the radiation source which irradiates a subject with radioactive rays, a plurality of detecting elements which detect photons in the radioactive rays, and a collimator which is disposed between the radiation source and the detecting elements and has a plurality of walls which form a plurality of passing holes that the radioactive rays pass. The detecting element and the collimator are aligned with each other in a direction which is orthogonal to a direction that the subject is irradiated with the radioactive rays such that a ratio or a difference between output signals from the detecting elements which are mutually adjacent with the wall being interposed falls within a predetermined range.
