Abstract
A radiation imaging apparatus includes a pixel array including n pixel rows, where n≥3, and a driving circuit configured to scan the pixel array from a first row toward an nth row, counting from one end of the pixel array. In a case where a region of interest is included in a partial region composed of pixel rows from an ith row to a jth row, where 1<i≤j<n, the driving circuit starts scanning of the pixel array from the first row, and starts scanning of the pixel array from the first row again during scanning of pixel rows from a (j+1)th row to the nth row.
Claims11
A radiation imaging apparatus, comprising:
- a pixel array including n pixel rows, where n≥3;
- and
- a driving circuit configured to scan the pixel array from a first row toward an nth row, count from one end of the pixel array, wherein
- when a region of interest is included in a partial region of pixel rows from row i to row j, where 1<i≤j<n, the driving circuit starts scanning the pixel array from the first row, and again starts scanning the pixel array from the first row during scanning of pixel rows from row (j+1) to row n.
A method of controlling a radiation imaging apparatus that includes a pixel array including n pixel rows, where n≥3, and a driving circuit configured to scan the pixel array, the method comprising:
- scanning the pixel array from a first row toward row n, counting from one end of the pixel array, wherein
- when a region of interest is included in a partial region composed of pixel rows from row i to row j, where 1<i≤j<n, scanning the pixel array starts from the first row and again starts from the first row during scanning of pixel rows from row (j+1) to row n.
