    摘要: A radiation imaging apparatus comprising pixels, a driver controlling the pixels via driving lines, a readout circuit reading out, via column signal lines, signals from the pixels and a detector detecting irradiation information of radiation separately from a radiation image, is provided. Each of the column signal lines is connected to pixels arranged on two pixel columns. The pixels include a first pixel and a second pixel, whose sensitivities are different from each other. The first and second pixels are connected to a common column signal line and are connected to driving lines different from each other. When detecting the irradiation information, the driver drives the first and second pixels at timings different from each other, and the detection circuit detects the irradiation information based on signals output from the first and second pixels.

    摘要: Provide are a detector module, a detector, and a medical device. The detector module includes a plurality of detection sub-modules at least partially arranged in a stepped manner in a first direction. Each of the plurality of detection sub-modules includes a plurality of photoelectric conversion units arranged at intervals in a second direction intersecting with the first direction. One of two adjacent detection sub-modules is located at a higher step as a first detection sub-module, and the other one is located at a lower step and as a second detection sub-module. A first gap is formed between the plurality of photoelectric conversion units of the first detection sub-module. A second gap is formed between the plurality of photoelectric conversion units of the second detection sub-module. A width of the first gap in the second direction is smaller than a width of the second gap in the second direction.

    摘要: A radiation detector includes control and data lines extending respectively in mutually-orthogonal first and second directions, photoelectric conversion parts respectively in regions defined by the control and data lines, noise detecting parts outside a region including the photoelectric conversion parts, a control circuit inputting control signals to first and second thin film transistors located respectively in the photoelectric conversion and noise detecting parts, a signal detection circuit reading image data and noise signals respectively from the photoelectric conversion and noise detecting parts, and an image configuration circuit configuring a radiation image based on the signals that are read. The signals from the photoelectric conversion parts adjacent to the noise detecting parts are not read and/or are not used by the image configuration circuit when configuring the radiation image, and/or the photoelectric conversion parts adjacent to the noise detecting parts are not electrically connected with the control and/or signal detection circuits.
