Abstract
An X-ray detector () comprises an X-ray-electric charge conversion film () for directly converting into charges an incident X-ray that has passed through a subject () and is received, and a charge information reading section () for detecting charges produced by the X-ray-electric charge conversion film () as image signals. The X-ray-electric charge conversion film () consists essentially of a rare-earth compound containing at least one of rare-earth element and at least one of element selected from oxygen, sulfur, selenium and tellurium. The X-ray-electric charge conversion film () does not adversely affect human bodies and environment, and is excellent in sensitivity, film-forming feature and the like. Accordingly, the X-ray detector () which is provided with the improved X-ray detection sensitivity, detection accuracy and the like with environmental loads and the like decreased can be provided.
