Abstract

A radiation detector for use on X-ray CT scanner with a plurality of elements arrayed to form a detector block, which is structured that a plurality of thin-film photodiodes consisting of amorphous silicon each are formed on the back of a scintillator block having a width to cover the plurality of elements, a platelike supporting member provided with signal lines on the back is bonded to cover the photodiodes, the photodiodes and the signal lines are connected together through wire bonding, the scintillator block is divided into each element across separators on the supporting member.
