Abstract
A scintillator panel includes a scintillator layer that includes a phosphor including columnar crystals in which an X-ray rocking curve of a specific plane index measured by applying an X-ray to a columnar crystal growth ending surface after cutting to have a thickness of 5 μm from a columnar crystal growth starting surface has a half-width (a) of equal to or less than 15 degrees, an X-ray rocking curve of the specific plane index measured by applying an X-ray to the columnar crystal growth ending surface without cutting has a half-width (b) of equal to or less than 15 degrees, and a ratio (a/b) is within a range of from 0.5 to 2.0. The scintillator panel can provide radiation images having higher sharpness.
