Radiological image conversion panel, manufacturing method thereof and radiological image detection apparatus

Abstract

A radiological image conversion panel includes: a scintillator made of a phosphor which emits fluorescence when exposed to radiation, in which a fluorescence emitting surface of the scintillator is bonded to a sensor panel having a pixel array detecting the fluorescence generated at the scintillator, through an adhesive layer, the scintillator includes a group of columnar crystals which are obtained by growing crystal of the phosphor into columnar shape, the fluorescence emitting surface is configured by a set of tip parts of the columnar crystals, at least edge portions of the fluorescence emitting surface are flattened by filling between the group of columnar crystals with filler, and the filling depth of the filler at a center portion of the fluorescence emitting surface is smaller than that at the edge portions of the fluorescence emitting surface.
