  • Patent number: 6570160
    Abstract: In a radiation detecting apparatus, an &agr; ray and &bgr; ray are transmitted through a light shielding film but an incident light is shielded. A first light is emitted from a first scintillator by the &agr; ray transmitted through the light shielding film. The first scintillator has an emission center wavelength based on the &agr; ray. A second light is emitted in a second scintillator by the &bgr; ray transmitted through the light shielding film. The second scintillator has an emission center wavelength based on the &bgr; ray. The first and second lights are detected by two photo-detectors, respectively. The first emission center wavelength and the second emission center wavelength are different from each other.

  • Patent number: 6407392
    Abstract: A radiation detector for detecting radiation comprises a scintillator, a first light guide, a plurality of second light guides and a photo detector. The scintillator generates a scintillated light in response to received radiation. The first light guide, which is connected to the scintillator, has a fluorescence characteristic. The second light guide has a common surface arranged at the opposite side of the surface of the scintillator where radiation is received, and the second light guide has a fluorescence characteristic. The photo detector is connected to the first light guide and the second light guide, and detects a fluorescent light therein.

  • Patent number: 6392236
    Abstract: There is provided a radiation detector capable of discriminating a kind of rays in radiation. The radiation detector includes a scintillator and a discriminator. The scintillator scintillates depending on the type of radiation and generates a first output signal and second output signals after the first output signal. The second output signals vary the signal pattern thereof with a kind of rays in radiation. The discriminator discriminates a kind of rays in radiation based on the first signal and the second signals. The scintillator has multiple scintillation characteristics, and includes Gd2O2S (GOS) or Y2O2S (YOS), for example.

  • Patent number: 6333502
    Abstract: A radiation detector D comprises: a scintillator 1, a main light guide 4, a wavelength shift fiber 5 passing through the main light guide 4, and an auxiliary light guide 2 provided between the scintillator 1 and the main light guide 4. The scintillator 1 is designed to emit scintillation light in response to incoming radiation. The main light guide 4 is surrounded by a plane 4a of incidence, for allowing the scintillation light to be incident thereon, and a reflecting surface for inwardly reflecting the scintillation light entering the plane 4a of incidence. The wavelength shift fiber 5 is designed to absorb the scintillation light entering the main light guide 4 to re-emit the scintillation light as fluorescent pulses of a longer wavelength to allow the re-emitted fluorescent pulses to simultaneously leave both ends 5a, 5b.
