摘要:
[Problems to be Solved] It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel radiographic image detector which can detect radiation, such as hard X-rays or γ-rays, with high sensitivity and which is excellent in position resolution and count rate characteristic.
[Means to Solve the Problems] A radiographic image detector comprises a combination of a scintillator, such as a lanthanum fluoride crystal containing neodymium, for converting incident radiation into ultraviolet rays; and a gas multiplication ultraviolet image detector for converting ultraviolet rays into electrons, amplifying such electrons by use of a gas electron avalanche phenomenon, and detecting the electrons. The radiographic image detector is characterized in that the gas multiplication ultraviolet image detector is basically constituted by a photoelectric conversion substance, such as cesium iodide or cesium telluride, for converting ultraviolet rays into electrons; a gas electron multiplier for amplifying electrons by use of the gas electron avalanche phenomenon; and a pixel electrode having an amplification function and a detection function.
