Abstract:
1. A radiation image detector comprising: a radiation image recording section configured to record a radiation image by storing charges generated therein in proportion to the dose of radiation irradiated thereon; a detecting section having a striped electrode comprised of a plurality of linear electrodes disposed in parallel for reading out said charges stored in said radiation image recording section, and configured to detect said radiation image as electrical signals by scanning linear reading light extending in the direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of said linear electrodes of said striped electrode in said longitudinal direction of said linear electrodes of said striped electrode, and reading out said charges using said linear electrodes of said striped electrode at a predetermined readout timing; and a synchronization signal generating section having a synchronization signal generating electrode provided on said radiation image recording section, and configured to read out charges that change cyclically in amount from said radiation image recording section using said synchronization signal generating electrode by scanning said reading light, and generate a synchronization signal to be used for said readout timing based on said charges read out from said radiation image recording section through said synchronization signal generating electrode.
