Zusammenfassung:To provide a radiation imaging system which is adapted to downsize a photon counting radiation detector including a semiconductor layer for detecting photons of radiation and a collimator for suppressing incidence of scattered rays, and which ensures high voltage resistance. The radiation imaging system includes: a radiation source; a radiation detector; and a support portion for supporting the radiation source and the radiation detector in opposed relation. The system has a structure wherein the radiation detector includes a plurality of detecting element modules arranged in an arcuate form. The detecting element module includes a base fixed to the support portion; a semiconductor layer; a high-voltage wire for supplying high voltage to the semiconductor layer; a collimator for suppressing scattered rays, and a supporting column disposed at place within a predetermined distance from the semiconductor layer.
