ABSTRACT:
An X-ray sensing apparatus with which reduction is achieved in the amount of electric power consumed to drive an X-ray sensor, including: a sensing unit including a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements each converting light into an electric signal; a driving range designating unit for designating a driving range for driving each of the plurality of photoelectric conversion elements included in the sensing unit; a drive unit for driving the photoelectric conversion element in the driving range designated by the driving range designating unit; a reading range designating unit for designating a reading range of the photoelectric conversion element driven by said driving unit; and a signal reading unit for reading out an output of the photoelectric conversion element in the reading range designated by the reading range designating unit.
