Abstract: In a radiation image conversion panel (10), a radiation conversion layer (2) for converting an incident radiation into light is formed on a substrate (1). The radiation conversion layer (2) has a reflective layer (3), on a side opposite from a light exit surface (2a) for emitting the light, for reflecting the light to the exit surface (2a) side, while the reflective layer (3) has a helical structure comprising helically stacked phosphor crystals. Thus constructed radiation image conversion panel (10) can enhance the reflectance without forming a reflective layer made of a thin metal film or the like and exhibit a reflectance higher than that in the case where the reflective layer is formed by spherical crystal particles.
