Abstract
A radiological imaging apparatus allowing semiconductor radiation detectors to be easily replaced with new ones and densely arranged. Terminals () and () are provided on a bottom surface of a detector aggregate () including a plurality of semiconductor radiation detectors (); the terminals is connected to electrodes (and) of the detectors (). A plurality of zero insertion force connectors () are provided on a connecting device () installed on a support substrate (). The terminals (and) are detachably attached to the zero insertion force connectors () to mount the detector aggregates () that are the semiconductor radiation detectors (), on the support substrate (). When the detector aggregates () are attached to the zero insertion force connectors (), since no frictional force acts on the terminals, the size of the gap between the detector aggregates () is reduced.
