To improve performance in Photon Counting CT, pixel miniaturization, a reduction in circuit dead time, and dealing with scattered radiation and charge sharing are important. In addition, because the number of circuits increases, a reduction in power consumption of each circuit is important. Under these constraints, circuitry that deals with the scattered radiation is provided. Each pixel (9) includes a circuit (23) that determines whether radiation has been detected by another, adjacent pixel (9) at the same time, and counters (24) that count the radiation are switched on the basis of the result of the determination. On the basis of this result, counts of non-coincident events are primarily used, and coincident counts are used after being corrected, for reconstruction data. |
