Cassette type radiographic image solid-state detector

Abstract

A cassette type radiographic image detector may include a housing including a first surface on which radiation enters and a second surface as a back surface opposite to the first surface, and a detection panel housed within the housing which detects radiation transmitted through the first surface. The housing may be configured to disperse an external force by transmitting a vertical component of the external force from one of the first or second surface to the other of the first or second surface.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A cassette type radiographic image detector comprising:
 a housing including a first surface on which radiation enters and a second surface as a back surface opposite to the first surface; and   a detection panel housed within the housing which detects radiation transmitted the first surface,   wherein the housing is configured to disperse an external force, when the external force is applied to the first surface, by transmitting a vertical component against the first surface of the external force to the second surface, or when the external force is applied to the second surface, by transmitting a vertical component against the second surface of the external force to the first surface.   
     
     
         2 . The cassette type radiographic image detector of  claim 1 , wherein the housing is constituted of a pitch based carbon fiber. 
     
     
         3 . The cassette type radiographic image detector of  claim 1 , wherein the detection panel is structure in such a way that a scintillator which converts the transmitted radiation into electromagnetic wave and a signal detection section are sandwiched between two glass substrates. 
     
     
         4 . The cassette type radiographic image detector of  claim 3 , wherein a process of smoothing is performed on end faces of the glass substrates.
