Abstract
In a radiation image conversion panel (), a radiation conversion layer () for converting an incident radiation into light is formed on a substrate (). The radiation conversion layer () has a reflective layer (), on a side opposite from a light exit surface () for emitting the light, for reflecting the light to the exit surface () side, while the reflective layer () has a helical structure comprising helically stacked phosphor crystals. Thus constructed radiation image conversion panel () can enhance the reflectance without forming a reflective layer made of a thin metal film or the like and exhibit a reflectance higher than that in the case where the reflective layer is formed by spherical crystal particles.
