Abstract: A X-ray detector having enhanced X-ray sensitivity, which enables dual energy imaging having high diagnostic performance. This X-ray detector includes: scintillator elements which are partitioned by light blocking walls and which convert low-energy X-rays to light; and scintillator elements which are partitioned by light blocking walls and which convert high-energy X-rays to light. When seen from the direction of incidence of the X-rays, the positional pattern of the light blocking walls and that of the light blocking walls are configured so as not to be in alignment with each other. Accordingly, the X-rays incident on the X-ray detector are converted to light by at least either one of the scintillator elements and are finally outputted as X-ray detection signals.

Abstract: [PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED] To provide a radiation phase contrast imaging device having a small device configuration [SOLVING MEANS] The present invention focused on the findings that the distance between the phase grating 5 and the FPD 4 does not need to be the Talbot distance. The distance between the phase grating 5 and the FPD 4 can be more freely set. However, a self-image cannot be detected unless the self-image is sufficiently magnified with respect to the phase grating 5. The degree on how much the self-image is magnified on the FPD 4 with respect to the original phase grating 5 is determined by a magnification ratio X2/X1. Therefore, in the present invention, the magnification ratio is set to be the same as the magnification ratio in a conventional configuration. With this, even if the distance X2 between the radiation source 3 and the FPD 4 is reduced, a situation in which the self-image cannot be detected by the FPD 4 due to the excessively small size thereof does not occur.

Abstract: In an X-ray imaging device according to a first embodiment, an X-ray detector has a configuration in which scintillator elements are defined by light-shielding walls in a lattice shape. Among X-rays incident on the X-ray detector, X-rays incident on the light-shielding walls are not converted into scintillator light and are transmitted by the X-ray detector. Accordingly, by causing X-rays to be incident on the X-ray detector in which the scintillator elements are defined by the light-shielding walls in a lattice shape, an area in which X-rays 3a transmitted by a subject M are incident on the X-ray detector can be limited to an arbitrary range. Accordingly, since a detection mask can be omitted in the X-ray imaging device which is used for EI-XPCi, it is possible to reduce a manufacturing cost of the X-ray imaging device.
