Abstract
A radiation detecting apparatus includes a substrate 1, a scintillator layer 7 converting a radiation into light, and scintillator protection members 8, 9 and 10 to cover the scintillator layer 7, wherein the scintillator protection member includes a scintillator protection layer 8 consisting of a hot-melt resin, and the scintillator protection layer 8 touches the scintillator layer 7. As the substrate 1, a sensor panel including a photoreceiving layer 15 on which photoelectric conversion elements 2, receiving light, are arranged in two-dimension, and a protection layer 5 provided on the photreceiving layer 15 and touching the scintillator layer 7 and the scintillator protection layer 8. By using such a scintillator protection layer, a film formation time of the scintillator protection layer can be shortened, and the film thickness dispersion of the scintillator protection layer can be suppressed. Moreover, the adhesion property to the scintillator foundation layer and to the reflective layer protection layer can be improved.
