Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide the constitution having high geometrical efficiency, unincreasing in a manufacturing cost and nonreductive in dosage efficiency of a system in a scintillator for a detector of a computed tomographic(CT) system. SOLUTION: This scintillator has the geometrical constitution to substantially prevent an X-ray beam from completely passing through a gap between adjacent scintillator elements. In a practice mode, the scintillator is obliquely cut so as to form a parallelogram 52 or a trapezoid or a detector module is arranged in its slant attitude on the (z) axis of the X-ray beam.
