Abstract
A radiation detection apparatus includes a sensor panel which includes a photoelectric conversion unit, a scintillator layer disposed above the photoelectric conversion unit and configured to convert radiation into light, a reflection layer disposed above the scintillator layer and configured to reflect part of light generated by the scintillator layer toward the sensor panel; and a protective layer which covers the scintillator layer from above the reflection layer. The scintillator layer is fixed on the sensor panel. The reflection layer is fixed on the protective layer. Part of the protective layer is bonded to the sensor panel with an adhesive material so as to seal the scintillator layer and the reflection layer with the protective layer and the sensor panel. An upper surface of the scintillator layer includes a portion which is not fixed to the reflection layer.
