    摘要: A radiation detector according to an embodiment includes: a cathode electrode, a plurality of anode electrodes, a crystal, an anti-scatter grid, and a conductive part. The cathode electrode is provided on the radiation incident side. The plurality of anode electrodes are arranged so as to oppose the cathode electrode. The crystal is provided between the cathode electrode and the plurality of anode electrodes and configured to convert incident radiation into electrons. The conductive part is provided between the plurality of anode electrodes and has a conductivity higher than that of the crystal. The anti-scatter grid is provided on the radiation incident side of the cathode electrode so as to oppose the conductive part via the crystal, while being arranged in a first direction.

    摘要: According to an embodiment, a radiation measuring apparatus includes a detector, comparators, a threshold controller, counters, and a generator. The detector includes plural detecting elements each configured to convert energy of incident radiation into a first electrical signal. The comparators correspond to the respective detecting elements, each comparator being configured to output a second electrical signal when a level of the corresponding first electrical signal is not less than a threshold. The threshold controller is configured to supply a first value as the threshold to the respective comparators at a first time, and supply a second value as the threshold to the respective comparators at a second time. The counters correspond to the respective comparators, each counter being configured to count the corresponding second electrical signal. The generator is configured to generate a pulse height frequency distribution of the radiation by using counts of the counters.
