    Abstract: A radiation detector according to an embodiment includes a light emitting element, an optical sensor, and a filter. The light emitting element generates light in conjunction with radiation becoming incident thereto. The optical sensor detects the light. The filter is provided between the light emitting element and the optical sensor and passes only a certain wavelength of the light so that delay time until the light is detected becomes shorter.

    Abstract: An X-ray CT apparatus of one embodiment includes an X-ray tube, a first X-ray detector, a rotator, and a second X-ray detector. The X-ray tube generates an X-ray. The first X-ray detector is arranged so as to face the X-ray tube and detects the X-ray that has transmitted through a subject. The rotator supports the X-ray tube and the first X-ray detector in a rotatable manner. The second X-ray detector detects a characteristic X-ray that is generated in accordance with a substance in the subject.

    Abstract: A radiation diagnostic device according to an aspect of the present invention includes a first detector, a second detector, and processing circuitry. The first detector detects Cherenkov light that is generated when radiation passes. The second detector is disposed to be opposed to the first detector on a side distant from a generation source of the radiation, and detects energy information of the radiation. The processing circuitry specifies Compton scattering events detected by the second detector, and determines an event corresponding to an incident channel among the specified Compton scattering events based on a detection result obtained by the first detector.
