摘要： An apparatus for measuring the concentration of radioactivity in a radioactive fluid discharged from a nuclear power plant. The apparatus comprises a radioactivity concentration measurement pipe arranged to extend vertically, fluid supplying means for supplying the fluid into the measurement pipe in such a manner that the fluid flows down through the measurement pipe along the axis of the measurement pipe without contacting the inner surface of the latter, radioactivity concentration measuring means disposed at the outside of the measurement pipe for measuring the radioactivity concentration in the fluid flowing in the measurement pipe, and means for discharging the radioactive fluid to the outside of the measurement pipe. The apparatus further comprises a gas supply pipe opening at its one end to the atmosphere and communicated at its other end with the inside of the measurement pipe, and a check valve disposed in the gas supply pipe and operated at a pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure. When the pressure in the measurement pipe has come down below the atmospheric pressure, the check valve is operative to always maintain the internal pressure in the measurement pipe at the atmospheric pressure, thereby to prevent the fluid level in the measurement pipe from being raised to reduce the background noise during the measurement of the radioactivity concentration.

摘要： In a radiation measurement apparatus, an analog pulse signal output from a semiconductor radiation detector is converted to a plurality of digital signals by an analog-to-digital converter for each analog pulse signal. A threshold circuit for inputting these digital signals discriminates digital signals exceeding a threshold value. A digital signal integration circuit integrates the plurality of discriminated digital signals for each analog pulse signal and obtains an integrated value for each analog pulse signal. A spectrum generation circuit for inputting the respective integrated values generates a radiation energy spectrum using the integrated values and accurately performs the quantitative analysis and energy analysis of a radioactive nuclide using the radiation energy spectrum. A quantitative analysis and an energy analysis of a radioactive nuclide can be accurately performed while a time resolution of a radiation detector can be maintained.

The radiation detection module includes a plurality of radiation detectors, and a wiring board on which the plurality of radiation detectors are mounted in a manner of being arranged in at least a radiation traveling direction. Here, on the wiring board, a pair of the radiation detectors which are adjacent to each other in the radiation traveling direction are electrically connected to each other, thereby configuring one detector structure (i.e., detection channel). Moreover, the radiation detectors are mounted onto the wiring board such that respective connection parts of electrodes, which are to be electrically connected to each other, are in a mutually-facing state.

The predetermined angle ranges from 20 to 70 degree and more preferably from 30 deg to 60 deg.

摘要： A radiological imaging apparatus of the present invention comprises an image pickup device and a medical examinee holding device that is provided with a bed. The image pickup device includes a large number of radiation detectors and radiation detector support plates. A large number of radiation detectors are mounted around the circumference of a through-hole and arranged in the axial direction of the through-hole. The radiation detectors are arranged in three layers formed radially with respect to the center of the through-hole and mounted on the lateral surfaces of the radiation detector support plates. Since the radiation detectors are not only arranged in the axial direction and circumferential direction of the through-hole but also arrayed in the radial direction, it is possible to obtain accurate information about a γ-ray arrival position in the radial direction of the through-hole (the positional information about a radiation detector from which a γ-ray image pickup signal is output). The use of accurate information about γ-ray arrival increases the tomogram accuracy. As a result, the present invention enhances the tomogram accuracy, that is, the PET examination accuracy.
