Abstract

See full text

A radiation detector provides improved time-resolution under consideration of an incident of a multiple scattering event. An individual comparator 11 extracts a pulse from the detection element 3a through a total circuit 12 and converts to the time data. In addition, each detection element 3a comprises the total circuit 12, that outputs the pulse totaling the output of each detection element 3a, and the total comparator 13 that converts the pulses output from the total circuit 12 to the time data. According to the aspect of the present invention, the time data suitable from each discriminated event is processed, so that the emission-time of fluorescence can be more accurately determined.
