Abstract
A radiation detector having a head and a main body. The head has a probe and a first articulation. The probe contains a radiation detection element, and is movable due to the first articulation. Separately from the first articulation, a second articulation is provided on the main body or the head or therebetween. Accordingly, the radiation detector can move in a different way that allowed for by the first articulation. Combining the motion by the first articulation with the motion by the second articulation increases flexibility of handling the radiation detector. Hence the radiation detector has improved ease of operation.
