Abstract
A radiation image sensor comprises two optical members a scintillator deposited on entrance end faces of the optical members a plurality of light-guiding optical components and a plurality of CCDs Each of the optical members is an optical member in which several millions/cm of optical fibers are disposed parallel to each other and integrally molded, whereas the optical fibers have an axis forming an acute angle with the entrance end face The two optical members are arranged such that the optical fibers respectively constituting each of the optical members have a gap therebetween widening from the entrance end face side to the exit end face side. Respective side faces of optical members are formed with ground surfaces in which the respective side faces of optical members are ground against each other.
