Patent ID: 8629406

Claim:
A radiation detection element, comprising: a plurality of scan lines that are provided in parallel to each other; a plurality of signal lines that are provided in parallel to each other, and that intersect with the scan lines; and a plurality of pixels that are provided in a matrix form at intersecting portions of the scan lines and the signal lines, the plurality of pixels including: a plurality of radiographic imaging pixels each including a sensor section that generates charges based on irradiation of radiation or on illumination of light that has been converted from radiation, and a switching element that is turned ON and OFF according to a state of a control signal flowing in the scan line, wherein the sensor section is electrically connected to the signal line through the switching element, and electric signals corresponding to the charges generated in the sensor section flow in the signal line according to the state of the control signal, and a plurality of radiation detection pixels each including the sensor section, which is electrically connected to the signal line, wherein electric signals corresponding to the charges generated in the sensor section flow in the signal line irrespective of the state of the control signal, wherein the plurality of radiographic imaging pixels and the plurality of radiation detection pixels are connected to the same specified signal line.
