Abstract

A radiation imaging apparatus that images a radiation image includes a radiation detector that detects radiation; a supporter that includes charging material and that supports the radiation detector, a conductive layer provided between the radiation detector and the supporter, an electronic circuit; and an electric wiring that passes a lateral surface of the supporter and that connects the radiation detector with the electronic circuit. The conductive layer is positioned on a surface of the supporter outside a plan view region of the radiation detector in a position facing at least a portion of the electric wiring.

Claims (13)

1 . A radiation imaging apparatus that images a radiation image, the apparatus comprising:

a radiation detector that detects radiation;

a supporter that includes charging material and that supports the radiation detector, wherein the supporter includes an extending portion that extends beyond the radiation detector in a direction parallel to a surface of the supporter, the surface being the surface that supports the radiation detector;

a conductive layer provided between the radiation detector and the supporter, on the surface of the supporter that supports the radiation detector, wherein the conductive layer is also provided on said surface of the supporter on the extending portion of the supporter;

an electronic circuit; and

an electric wiring that passes a lateral surface of the supporter and that connects the radiation detector with the electronic circuit, wherein the lateral surface is a surface that intersects the surface that supports the radiation detector;

wherein the conductive layer on said surface of the supporter on the extending portion of the supporter faces a portion of the electric wiring,

wherein the conductive layer is provided so as to cover the lateral surface of the supporter that intersects the surface that supports the radiation detector and that is passed by the electric wiring, and

wherein the entire supporter is formed of foam material.

2 . The radiation imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the radiation detector includes a substrate having flexibility, and a semiconductor element that is formed on an imaging surface of the substrate.

3 . The radiation imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive layer is provided on the lateral surface of the supporter and a back surface of the extending portion on a side thereof opposite to the surface of the supporter that supports the radiation detector.

4 . The radiation imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive layer comprises a lead shield member.

5 . The radiation imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an area of the radiation detector in a plan view is smaller than an area of the supporter in the plan view.
