Abstract
An X-ray CT radiation detector includes a heat insulating case mounted on a rotating base, a radiation incident window formed in the heat insulating case, a detection panel on which detection elements for detecting radiation incident through the radiation incident window are arrayed. The detection panel is positioned to form a fluid circulatory path in the heat insulating case. A circulator for circulating the fluid is placed in the circulatory path. The circulatory path and circulation of the fluid by the circulator make it possible to make the temperature of the detection panel relatively uniform.
