Abstract
Provided is a flexible detector and an imaging device including the same, which are capable of improving structural stability of the detector even in a state in which the detector changes in shape. A detector according to an embodiment includes a first part including a first housing made of an elastic material, and a detection panel provided in the first housing, a second part connected to the first part and including a second housing made of an inelastic material or a material having higher rigidity than the material of the first housing, and a reinforcement member disposed outside the detection panel and provided on the first housing so as to surround at least a part of the detection panel on a horizontal plane.
Claims18
A detector, comprising:
- a first part including a first housing and a detection panel, the first housing including an elastic material, the detection panel being disposed in the first housing;
- a second part connected to the first part and including a second housing, the second housing including an inelastic material or a material having higher rigidity than the elastic material of the first housing;
- and
- a reinforcement member disposed outside the detection panel and disposed in the first housing, the reinforcement member surrounding at least a part of the detection panel on a horizontal plane perpendicular to a thickness direction of the detection panel,
- wherein the first housing comprises:
- a panel accommodation portion configured to accommodate the detection panel;
- and
- a reinforcement member accommodation portion defined outside the panel accommodation portion when viewed on the horizontal plane, the reinforcement member accommodation portion being configured to accommodate the reinforcement member,
- wherein the reinforcement member comprises a first reinforcement portion disposed in a first accommodation region of the reinforcement member accommodation portion in a first direction, and
- wherein the first reinforcement portion is configured to move in the reinforcement member accommodation portion in the first direction on the horizontal plane when the first part is bent.
A detector, comprising:
- a first part including a first housing and a detection panel, the first housing including an elastic material, the detection panel being disposed in the first housing;
- a second part connected to the first part and including a second housing, the second housing including an inelastic material or a material having higher rigidity than the elastic material of the first housing;
- and
- a reinforcement member disposed outside the detection panel and disposed in the first housing, the reinforcement member surrounding at least a part of the detection panel on a horizontal plane perpendicular to a thickness direction of the detection panel,
- wherein the second part includes a first ring portion extending in a first direction, and a second ring portion extending in a second direction different from the first direction, and
- wherein a fixing part configured to fix the detector to a test target is coupled to the first ring portion and the second ring portion.
An imaging device comprising:
- a detector;
- a fixing part configured to fix the detector such that the detector is tightly attached to a test target;
- and
- a radioactive ray generation part configured to be disposed inside or outside the test target and configured to emit radiation to the detector,
- wherein the detector comprises:
- a first part including a first housing and a detection panel, the first housing including an elastic material, the detection panel being disposed in the first housing;
- a second part connected to the first part and including a second housing, the second housing including an inelastic material or a material having higher rigidity than the elastic material of the first housing;
- and
- a reinforcement member disposed outside the detection panel and disposed in the first housing, the reinforcement member surrounding at least a part of the detection panel on a horizontal plane perpendicular to a thickness direction of the detection panel.
