Abstract
An X-ray detection devicecomprises a low energy scintillatorconfigured to convert an X-ray of a low energy range into scintillation light, a low energy line sensorconfigured to detect the scintillation light to output image data, a high energy scintillatorconfigured to convert an X-ray of a high energy range into scintillation light, and a high energy line sensorconfigured to detect the scintillation light to output image data. Pixels L of the low energy line sensorand pixels H of the high energy line sensorare 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, while an averaging process is executed on the image data from the high energy line sensor
