    摘要: L'invention concerne un tube intensificateur d'image radiologique à sortie vidéo.
    Le tube comporte, dans une même enveloppe à vide, une section image et une section d'analyse ayant une face commune occupée par le cible 16. Dans la section image est formée, dans la cible, une image électrique correspondant à l'image en rayons X incidente; cette image est lue dans la section d'analyse par un pinceau d'électrons balayant la cible point par point. Cette cible a, dans les tubes de l'invention, une structure permettant de limiter le gain photons X - signal vidéo et de la régler entre deux valeurs prédéterminées; elle comporte, sur sa face qui reçoit les photo-électrons e - ; une couche barrière en métal 1 recouvrant une couche luminescente 2, en contact elle-méme avec une couche semi-transparente 3 recouvrant la cible proprement dite 4.
    Application, dans une large gamme, de doses indicentes, en fluoroscopie comme en fluorographie.

    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.

    摘要: An electron tube (10) is mainly composed of a side tube (12), an input plate (14) having a photocathode (18), a stem (16), and a CCD device (20). The inside of the electron tube (10) is in a high vacuum state. The CCD device (20) is secured to the stem (16), with the back (B) of the CCD device (20) opposed to the photocathode (18). In the CCD device (20), on a semiconductor substrate (64) made of a semiconductor of one conductivity type are formed a buried layer (66), a barrier layer (68), an SiO2 layer (70), a storage electrode layer (72), a transfer electrode layer (74), and a barrier electrode layer (76) in respective predetermined positions. On them, a PSG film (78) is formed over the entire surface (A) to palanarize the surface of the CCD device (20). Further, on the film (78), an SiN film (106) mainly made of SiN is formed over the entire surface (A).
