Abstract: A radiation imaging apparatus includes pixels arranged to form pixel rows and pixel columns. The pixels include first pixels and second pixels whose sensitivity to radiation is lower than the first pixels. The apparatus further includes a signal lines arranged to correspond to the pixel columns, a readout circuit configured to read out a signal from the pixels via the signal lines, and a processing unit configured to decide a correction value using signals read out from the second pixels and correct signals read out from the first pixels using the correction value. An internal structure of the readout circuit has a period. The second pixels are arranged such that there are two or more types of remainders of column numbers of pixel columns that include the second pixels divided by the period.
