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: A nuclear medicine diagnostic device according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry obtains first photon-number information detected by a first detector; calculates, based on the first photon-number information, a first light emission probability model corresponding to the first detector; identifies, based on the first light emission probability model, a first timing at which the detection probability becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value; measures the detection timing of an event detected by the first detector; and corrects the detection timing based on the first timing.

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.
