Abstract:
1. A radiation detection element comprising: a plurality of pixels, disposed in a matrix along a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction, that accumulate charges generated due to irradiation of radiation, and that include switching elements for reading out the accumulated charges; a plurality of signal lines, connected to the switching elements, and through which the charges that have been accumulated in the pixels flow according to switching states of the switching elements; a plurality of parallel lines, provided parallel to the plurality of signal lines; and a plurality of scan lines, connected to the switching elements, and through which control signals for switching the switching elements flow, wherein, in a plurality of adjacent pixels that are connected to a signal line having a defect portion where a defect has occurred and that are adjacent to the defect portion, the signal lines and the parallel lines are short-circuited to configure a parallel circuit parallel to the defect portion, by cutting connection points of the switching elements and the scan lines, and short-circuiting source electrodes, gate electrodes, and drain electrodes of the switching elements.
