Abstract: A PET detector module (220) according to one embodiment includes an array (203) of scintillation crystal elements and a plurality of photosensors (201). The array (203) includes a plurality of substantially optically isolated sub-arrays (301, 302, 303). The photosensors (201) are arranged to cover the array (203) and configured to receive light emitted from the array (203). The sub-arrays (301, 302, 303) are optically isolated so that light emitted from an individual scintillation crystal located in a corresponding sub-array is concentrated so as to be primarily received only by those photosensors that cover the corresponding sub-array. At least one photosensor, which receives light emitted from crystals in a first sub-array, also receives light emitted from crystals in one and only one sub-array that is adjacent to the first sub-array.

Abstract: [Object] To perform an output control by certainly detecting a trouble of an LED lamp even in the case where a plurality of LED lamps are lighted in series. 
[Means for Settlement] When a voltage between both terminals of the LED lamp 110B having a short-circuit trouble steps down and thus a second detection voltage VS2 falls below a lower limit value, a control part 5 determines that the LED lamp 110B has a trouble, and stops a power conversion part 2. In the same manner, when a voltage between both terminals of the LED lamp 110A having a disconnection trouble rises and thus a difference voltage between a first detection voltage VS 1 and the second detection voltage VS2 exceeds an upper limit value, the control part 5 determines that the LED lamp 110A has a trouble, and stops the power conversion part 2. Accordingly, an output control can be performed by certainly detecting the trouble of the LED lamps 110A and 110B even in the case where the plurality of LED lamps 110A and 110B are lighted in series.
