ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to detectors of ionizing radiation which use a photoconductor as the detecting element. The invention lies in an electrode moving in a direction OX through a photoconductive medium disposed between two grids of electrodes extending parallel to OX. During the irradiation time, the grid electrodes of one grid are raised to a positive potential relative to the electrodes of the other grid and electrons and positive ions are created in the photoconductor. The electrons are removed by maintaining the positive potential on the electrodes of said one grid for a period of time longer than the irradiation. During displacement of said moving electrode, only the positive ions give rise to current in the electrodes. The invention is applicable to radiotherapy and radiography.
