Zusammenfassung: | PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that, when an incident radiation causes Compton scattering in a gamma ray camera or the similar camera having an array type radiation detection device such as a scintillator, signals are detected by a plurality of pixels, and in that case, determination accuracy of the initially incident pixel may decrease.SOLUTION: A radiation measurement device includes: a radiation detection device 201; and a calculation part 202 for acquiring information on the detected energy for each pixel obtained from the detection device and the pixel incident with radiation. The calculation part includes: a conversion part 203 for converting a detection signal of the pixel into energy; a calculation part 205; a determination part 206; and a decision part 207 for acquiring information on the pixel initially incident with the radiation by the determination of the determination part. The calculation part 205 acquires a Compton scattering determination value by which whether or not Compton scattering occurs by the pixel from detected energy of the pixel. The determination part 206 determines whether or not the Compton scattering occurs by the pixel from the Compton scattering determination value.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
【課題】シンチレータ等のアレイ型放射線検出器を有するガンマ線カメラ等で、入射放射線がコンプトン散乱を起こした場合、複数のピクセルで信号が検知され、その場合、最初に入射したピクセルの決定精度が低下することがある。【解決手段】放射線計測装置は、放射線検出器201と、検出器より得られるピクセル毎の検出エネルギーと放射線が入射したピクセルの情報を取得する算出部202を有する。算出部は、ピクセルの検出信号をエネルギーに変換する変換部203と、算出部205と、判定部206と、判定部の判定より、放射線が最初に入射したピクセルの情報を取得する決定部207を有する。算出部205は、ピクセルの検出エネルギーから、該ピクセルでコンプトン散乱が発生したかどうかを判定するコンプトン散乱判定値を求める。判定部206は、コンプトン散乱判定値から、ピクセルでコンプトン散乱が発生したかを判定する。【選択図】図2 |
