[0045] In the first embodiment, the arrangement of the partition wall portions 202 at equal intervals has been described. When the partition wall portions 202 are arranged at equal intervals and (Expression 3) is not satisfied, scattered rays may pass through between the partition wall portions 202 . Therefore, in the present embodiment, it will be described that the partition wall portion 202 is arranged so that the pitch in the X-ray incident direction (Y) is changed midway in order to prevent the transmission of scattered rays. In addition, similarly to the first embodiment, the upper end of the uppermost partition wall is aligned with the X-ray incident surface 200 .

[0050] In 1st Embodiment and 2nd Embodiment, the case where the interval s of the partition wall part 202 in the X-ray incident direction (Y) was equal was demonstrated. The interval s of the partition wall portion 202 is not limited thereto, and in the present embodiment, the partition wall portion 202 is arranged so that the interval s is changed according to the position in the X-ray incident direction (Y). In addition, similarly to the first embodiment, the upper end of the uppermost partition wall is aligned with the X-ray incident surface 200 .

[0051] use Figure 6 The arrangement of the partition wall portion 202 in this embodiment will be described. exist Figure 6 Among them, the partition walls 202 are arranged at equal intervals in the channel direction (X), and in the X-ray incident direction (Y), are arranged at equal intervals in the lower half of the collimator 108, and in the upper half, so as to follow the X-ray incident direction (Y). The position in the...

Abstract

The present invention makes it possible to lighten a collimator and enhance the uniformity of a scattered radiation shielding rate. This radiation imaging device comprises a radiation source, a radiation detector for detecting the radiation radiated from a focus of the radiation source, and a collimator disposed between the radiation source and radiation detector, wherein the collimator has partition parts disposed on the boundaries of the pixels of the radiation detector at a prescribed interval along the radiation incidence direction and the upper end of the uppermost partition part coincides with a radiation incidence plane.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a radiation imaging device equipped with a photon counting detector, and relates to a collimator for removing scattered rays. Background technique [0002] In recent years, research and development of a photon counting CT (Computed Tomography) apparatus equipped with a detector employing a photon counting method (photon counting type detector) has been carried out by various institutions. The photon counting detector is different from the charge-integrating detector used in the conventional CT apparatus. Since it can count the radiation photons incident on the semiconductor layer as the detection element, the energy of each radiation photon can be measured. . Therefore, in the photon counting CT apparatus, more information can be obtained than in the conventional CT apparatus. [0003] In radiation imaging devices represented by CT devices, in order to suppress the incidence of scattered rays generated by the subject,...
