Abstract:
1. A radiation detection apparatus comprising: a scintillator configured to convert incident radiation into visible light; a photoelectric conversion unit including a plurality of pixels arranged in a two-dimensional array on a substrate, each pixel configured to convert the visible light into an electric signal; and a grid for removing scattered radiation including radiation-absorptive members and radiation-transmissive members arranged alternately, wherein the grid, the substrate, the photoelectric conversion unit, and the scintillator are disposed in this order from a radiation-incident side of the radiation detection apparatus to an opposite side thereof, the photoelectric conversion unit is disposed on a surface of the substrate opposite to a surface on which the radiation is incident, and wherein the grid is disposed such that the grid is at least partially in contact with the radiation-incident surface of the substrate or such that the grid is bonded to the radiation-incident surface of the substrate.
