A plurality of these scintillator elementsare aligned and bundled together to form a scintillator unit. By mounting a solid-state image pickup elementto an open face of a caseof the scintillator unit, an image sensor M, which serves as a radiation detector, is formed. The image sensor M can be adjusted in size by adjusting the number, etc., of the scintillator elements
