Method and apparatus for driving X-ray detecting device

Abstract

Driving methods that improve image quality by reducing brightness degradation at the center of a composite panel X-ray detecting device caused by current leakage, and composite panel X-ray detecting devices that are driven using those methods. In the method and apparatus, a composite panel comprised of at least two X-ray detecting panels is scanned from the center of the composite panel toward vertical outer edges. Data is read out from the X-ray detecting panels in either the same or in different directions.
