MEDICAL IMAGE DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS, X-RAY CT APPARATUS, AND DETECTOR

摘要

A medical image diagnostic apparatus according to an embodiment includes detecting elements and processing circuitry. Each of the detecting elements contains, in an effective area thereof, a plurality of cells each configured to output an electrical signal when at least one photon has become incident thereto. Processing circuitry generates an image on the basis of a signal obtained by adding together the electrical signals output by the plurality of cells. The medical image diagnostic apparatus according to the embodiment includes a plurality of arrays in each of which two or more of the detecting elements containing an equal quantity of cells in the effective areas thereof are arranged, while the plurality of arrays are arranged in such a manner that the distances between the centers of the effective areas are constant.
