Abstract: The invention provides a radiation detector that can efficiently cool solid-state sensors used in collecting photons produced during conversion of radiation to light. The radiation detector can achieve an excellent cooling effect by transferring heat, which is produced during the cooling process, through a housing. The radiation detector comprises of an detection unit that detects the photons produced during the conversion of radiation to light, by utilizing a plurality of solid-state sensors installed on the motherboard. The radiation detector further comprises a heat transferring unit that cools the plurality of solid-state sensors simultaneously.
