  • Patent number: 8735838
    Abstract: A radiation detecting apparatus comprises: a first detector that detects incidence of radiation; a plate-shaped detection substrate including a second detector that detects an incident position of the radiation to at least the first detector, and a first terminal that is electrically connected to the second detector; a wiring substrate including a second terminal and an external terminal that is electrically connected to the second terminal; and a connecting member that electrically connects the first terminal and the second terminal. The first terminal is arranged at one end of a main surface of the plate-shaped detection substrate. The detection substrate is mounted on the wiring substrate such that the main surface is substantially perpendicular to the wiring substrate in a state that the one end faces the wiring substrate. The first detector is arranged opposite to the main surface of the detection substrate.

  • Publication number: 20090152447
    Abstract: It is an object to provide a photo detector that can be arranged in a matrix pattern (in a three-dimensional pattern) and a photo detection apparatus in which the photo detectors are arranged in a matrix pattern (in a three-dimensional pattern). In a photo detector for generating an electrical signal based on the intensity of a light received by a photo detection element, the photo detector comprises a flexible wiring substrate for mounting the photo detection element and the photo detection element electrically connected to the flexible wiring substrate for mounting the photo detection element.

  • Patent number: 7399972
    Abstract: A group of scintillator elements that convert an incident radiation into a light is one-dimensionally arranged. A photodiode array includes a group of photodiode elements that are arranged corresponding to arrangement positions of the respective scintillator elements, with detection surfaces formed substantially parallel to the incidence direction of the radiation. A reflection thin film is formed on a rear surface of the photodiode array in such a manner that the reflection thin film covers surfaces of the scintillator elements of the scintillator array that is fixed adjacent to the photodiode array.

  • Patent number: 7138632
    Abstract: A plurality of optical transducers converts the first radiation to a first light having a first wavelength, and converts the second radiation to a second light having a second wavelength. A shielding unit is arranged between the optical transducers to shield the first radiation, the second radiation, the first light, and the second light. A plurality of first photoelectric converters that corresponds to each of the optical transducers outputs a first electrical signal based on intensity of the first light. A plurality of second photoelectric converters that corresponds to each of the optical transducers outputs a second electrical signal based on intensity of the second light.
