Abstract
A radiation detector includes a first detection unit including a first radiation entrance region into which incoming radiation enters and in which first photoelectric conversion elements are arranged. The radiation detector also includes a second detection unit including a second radiation entrance region. The first detection unit detects an occurrence position of a first interaction and a track of recoil electron by using the first photoelectric conversion elements. The second detection unit detects an occurrence position of a second interaction resulting from the scattered radiation. A position of a radiation source is measured by the occurrence positions of the first and second interactions and the track of the recoil electron.
