Abstract
The present technology relates to a radiation detection apparatus that makes it possible to obtain a projection image of a radiation in a short period of time. The radiation detection apparatus includes a scintillator that emits scintillation light in response to incidence of a radiation, a pixel substrate on which a plurality of pixels each of which photoelectrically converts the scintillation light and outputs a pixel signal according to a light amount of the scintillation light is disposed in an array, a detection circuit substrate that includes an A/D (Analog to Digital) conversion unit for A/D converting the pixel signal and is stacked on the pixel substrate, and a compression unit that compresses digital data outputted from the A/D conversion unit. The present technology can be applied, for example, to an X-ray imaging apparatus that detects an X-ray to perform imaging and so forth.
