Abstract:
A radiation image capturing apparatus includes a pixel array including conversion elements arranged in rows and columns on an optically transparent substrate, signal lines that outputs a signal generated by the conversion elements and that extends in a column direction, a first scintillator disposed near a first surface of the substrate, and a second scintillator disposed near a second surface of the substrate opposite the first surface. The conversion elements include first conversion elements and second conversion elements. A light shielding layer is disposed between the first scintillator and the second conversion elements such that an amount of light that is received by the second conversion elements from the first scintillator is smaller than that received by the first conversion elements. A number of columns of the conversion elements is equal to a number of the signal lines.
