Abstract:
An X-ray detection device 30 comprises a low energy scintillator 31 configured to convert an X-ray of a low energy range into scintillation light, a low energy line sensor 32 configured to detect the scintillation light to output image data, a high energy scintillator 33 configured to convert an X-ray of a high energy range into scintillation light, and a high energy line sensor 34 configured to detect the scintillation light to output image data. Pixels L of the low energy line sensor 32 and pixels H of the high energy line sensor 34 are identical in number and are aligned at an identical pixel pitch, and a minimum filtering process is executed on the image data from the low energy line sensor 32, while an averaging process is executed on the image data from the high energy line sensor 34.
