Radiographic image detection device
An electronic cassette has a configuration in which a first sensor panel and a second sensor panel are sequentially arranged in a thickness direction. The first sensor panel includes a first light detection substrate and a first scintillator. The periphery of the first scintillator is covered by a moisture-proof sealing layer. The sealing layer is made of a conductive material. The sealing layer is connected to the inner surface of a housing made of a conductive material through a connection portion. Therefore, the sealing layer has the same potential as the ground potential of the housing which is a reference potential and functions as a conductor layer.
1. A radiographic image detection device comprising:
two sensor panels that are sequentially arranged in a thickness direction and have imaging regions in which pixels that accumulate charge in response to radiation, which has been emitted from a radiation source and transmitted through a subject, are two-dimensionally arranged; and
a conductor layer that is provided between the two sensor panels and has a reference potential.
2. The radiographic image detection device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the conductor layer is provided so as to cover at least the imaging regions in a plan view.
3. The radiographic image detection device according to claim 1 ,
wherein at least one of the two sensor panels includes a scintillator that converts the radiation which has been incident into visible light and emits the visible light, a light detection substrate in which the imaging region is formed and which detects the visible light emitted from the scintillator and converts the visible light into the charge, and a conductive member of which at least a portion is provided at a position that faces the light detection substrate with the scintillator interposed therebetween, and
the conductive member functions as the conductor layer.
4. The radiographic image detection device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the reference potential is a ground potential or a power supply potential which is a constant potential that is supplied from a power supply unit to the conductor layer and is maintained.
5. The radiographic image detection device according to claim 4 , further comprising:
a switch that switches between an on state in which power is supplied to the conductor layer and an off state in which the supply of power to the conductor layer is stopped in a case in which the reference potential is the power supply potential.
6. The radiographic image detection device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the conductor layer is made of any one of aluminum, copper, tin, tungsten, lead, or carbon.
7. The radiographic image detection device according to claim 1 ,
wherein two circuit units that convert the charge into a digital signal and output the digital signal as a radiographic image are provided for the two sensor panels, respectively, and
two radiographic images output from the two circuit units are used to calculate an index value related to bones.
