Photodetecting means, X-ray sensing method, X-ray sensing apparatus, and photoelectric conversion element

An X-ray sensing apparatus comprising:

• sensing means including a plurality of elements each converting X-ray into an electric signal;
• pre-amplifiers, which correspond to the plurality of elements, for amplifying the electric signals;
• drive means for driving a power source of said pre-amplifiers;
• driving range designating means for designating a driving range for driving each of the plurality of elements included in said sensing means;
• and
• display means for displaying said driving range designated by said driving range designating means,
• wherein said drive means controls the power source of said pre-aruplifiers corresponding to elements out of a specified region so as to suppress electric power consumption, and
• wherein when the driving range is displayed on said sensing means, and a display means associated with a coordinate of the driving range is arranged in a peripheral region of said sensing means.
