Abstract:
1. A radiographic apparatus for detecting radiation, comprising: a detection section having a rectangular detection surface and including photoelectric conversion elements that detect radiation; an analog electrical circuit section arranged along a side of the detection surface for reading an electrical signal from the detection section; a digital driving circuit section arranged along another side of the detection surface for driving the detection section; a power source for supplying power to the detection section, the electrical circuit section and the driving circuit section; and a housing that has a handle and contains the detection section, the electrical circuit section, the driving circuit section and the power source; wherein the driving circuit section, the power source and the handle are located along a longer side of the rectangular detection surface; and the electrical circuit section is arranged in each area around the two shorter sides of the detection surface, and each electrical circuit section reads a partial detection area adjacent thereto, which area is defined by dividing the detection surface into two substantially equal parts in the longer side direction.
