Abstract:
1. A radiation imaging apparatus comprising: a photoelectric conversion device for converting light into an electric signal, wherein the photoelectric conversion element comprises a plurality of photoelectric conversion device chips arranged on a substrate, and each photoelectric conversion device chip comprises a plurality of pixels; a wavelength converter for converting radiation into light which can be sensed by the photoelectric conversion device; and a fiber plate disposed between the wavelength converter and the photoelectric conversion device, wherein the fiber plate comprises a plurality of individual fiber plates of the same thickness arranged adjacently side by side, each of the individual fiber plates comprising a group of optical fibers having parallel axes, wherein the plurality of individual fiber plates are bonded together at lateral faces thereof so that the axes of the optical fibers of the individual fiber plates are parallel to each other, and wherein the fiber plate and the plurality of photoelectric conversion device chips are mutually adhered by a transparent adhesive.
