ABSTRACT:
An imaging device for ionizing radiation, X-rays, gamma rays, or neutrons comprises in succession: a scintillator for transposing the ionizing radiation into electromagnetic radiation (.nu.) in the ultraviolet spectrum, a gas detector coupled to the scintillator and designed to respond to the received radiation by forming an avalanche A of electrons that ionize the gas thereby providing intense light that is optically detectable, An imaging system serves to record the image of the electron avalanches that ionize the gas in the gas detector The device is applicable to medical, biomedical, or industrial radiography imaging devices.
