Abstract

A radiation detecting device includes a radiation detector and a supporter. The radiation detector includes a substrate that has flexibility and a semiconductor element formed on an imaging surface of the substrate. The supporter is formed of foam and supports the radiation detector.

Claims (33)

1. A radiation detecting device, comprising:

a radiation detector that includes a substrate and a semiconductor element formed on an imaging surface of the substrate;

a supporter that is formed of foam and that supports the radiation detector from a side of the radiation detector that is opposite a side of the imaging surface;

an electric circuit; and

an attaching member that attaches the electric circuit to the supporter at a side of the supporter that is opposite a side of the supporter that faces the radiation detector such that a first surface of the supporter abuts the radiation detector and a second surface of the supporter, which is opposite the first surface, abuts the electric circuit.

2. The radiation detecting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the substrate is flexible.

3. The radiation detecting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the attaching member includes a projecting part and a plate part.

4. The radiation detecting device according to claim 3 , wherein

the plate part of the attaching member is connected to the supporter.

5. The radiation detecting device according to claim 4 , wherein

the plate part of the attaching member is connected to the supporter at a same time as the supporter is formed.

6. The radiation detecting device according to claim 4 , wherein

the plate part of the attaching member is placed at a radiation detector-side of the supporter.

7. The radiation detecting device according to claim 4 , wherein

the plate part of the attaching member is adhered to the supporter.

8. The radiation detecting device according to claim 4 , wherein

the plate part comprises two plate parts, and

the supporter is sandwiched between the two plate parts.

9. The radiation detecting device according to claim 3 , wherein

the projecting part of the attaching member includes an engaging part that engages with a screw hole formed in the electric circuit.

10. The radiation detecting device according to claim 3 , wherein

the projecting part of the attaching member includes an internal-screw part for screwing the electric circuit.

11. The radiation detecting device according to claim 10 , wherein

the attaching member further includes a protruding part that protrudes in a direction orthogonal to torque, the torque being produced by the screwing.

12. The radiation detecting device according to claim 11 , wherein

the protruding part comprises a plurality of protruding parts, and each of the protruding parts protrudes radially from a center of the plate part of the attaching member in a radial direction of the plate part.

13. The radiation detecting device according to claim 11 , wherein

the protruding part is a wavy lateral surface of the projecting part of the attaching member, and

a distance between tops of waves of the wavy lateral surface is equal to or greater than a diameter of a particle of the foam.

14. The radiation detecting device according to claim 1 , wherein

the attaching member is at least partially embedded in the second surface of the supporter.
