Abstract
A radiation imaging apparatus provided with a detector capable of improving correction accuracy at a high counting rate. The present invention is provided with: grids that remove scattered beams that emanate from an object; and a plurality of detector sub-pixels arranged so as to divide the gap between the grids into three or more segments, wherein the area of each of the detector sub-pixels located below the wall surface of the grids is larger than that of each of the other detector sub-pixels in a planar view. The size of each of the detector sub-pixels not located below the wall surface of the grids is expressed as (P−T−L×2)/N, where Prepresents the pitch between the grids, Trepresents the thickness of each of the grids, and N represents the number of segments formed by the detector sub-pixels between the grids.
