Abstract

A radiation imaging apparatus includes the following, a radiation detector that detects radiation; an electronic circuit; a plurality of electric wiring that connects the electronic circuit; a supporter that supports the radiation detector; and a case that includes a front surface portion in which radiation is incident and a rear surface portion facing the front surface portion with the radiation detector in between. The case stores the radiation detector, the electronic circuit, the plurality of electric wiring and the supporter. The plurality of electric wiring is positioned between the supporter and the rear surface portion, and at different positions in a thickness direction of the radiation imaging apparatus. The plurality of electric wiring include GND wiring that is used for a power supply. The GND wiring is positioned in a position farther from the radiation detector than other wiring in the thickness direction.

Claims (16)

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

a radiation detector that detects radiation;

an electronic circuit;

a plurality of electric wiring that connects the electronic circuit;

a supporter that supports the radiation detector; and

a case that includes a front surface portion in which radiation is incident and a rear surface portion facing the front surface portion with the radiation detector in between, wherein the case stores the radiation detector, the electronic circuit, the plurality of electric wiring and the supporter,

wherein the plurality of electric wiring is positioned between the supporter and the rear surface portion, and at different positions in a thickness direction of the radiation imaging apparatus,

wherein the plurality of electric wiring include GND wiring that is used for a power supply, and

wherein the GND wiring is positioned in a position farther from the radiation detector than other wiring in the thickness direction.

2. The radiation imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the radiation detector includes a substrate that includes 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 supporter is formed of foam material.

4. The radiation imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a groove in which the plurality of electric wiring are placed is formed in the supporter.

5. The radiation imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising an irradiation detecting sensor that is separate from the radiation detector and that detects irradiation of the radiation,

wherein the plurality of electric wiring includes irradiation detecting sensor wiring, and

wherein the irradiation detecting sensor wiring is positioned in a position farther from the rear surface portion than the other wiring in the thickness direction.

6. The radiation imaging apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the GND wiring is positioned in the position farther from the radiation detector than the other wiring in the thickness direction in the area between the supporter and the rear surface portion.
