More Information
Summary:Resins used in radiation detectors (100) undergo quality change owing to the irradiation. The quality change includes the degradation in the light reflectivity and light transmittance of the resins. The quality change of the resin is one of the causes for the output current reduction of the detectors and affects operating life of the detector. A radiation detector (100) and a CT device are provided which are small in the output current degradation of the radiation detector and long in working life even with a large irradiation. A cured mixture of a rutile type titanium oxide powder and a polyester resin is used for the light reflecting material covering (140) the scintillators (130). Additionally, a polyester resin is used for bonding the scintillators (130) and semiconductor photodetecting elements (120) together.
