Abstract
This invention relates to a multi-element type radiation detector for an X-ray CT scanner system wherein a plurality of scintillator blocks that are isolated either optically or radiation-wise from one another are arranged integrally, and a photo-diode consisting of an amorphous silicon layer for converting the emission of each scintillator is formed on the surface of each scintillator block by thin film technique.
