An emitted light in a scintillator element is sufficiently diffused in the
scintillator array to be inputted into a photo multiplier tube (PMT)
using a side face light guide that is optically coupled with respect to a
side face of a scintillator array, except for in an end area. In the end
area, the emitted light in the scintillator element is sufficiently
diffused also in the side face light guide to be inputted into the PMT.
In this way, also in the scintillator element in the end area, the
emitted light is sufficiently diffused in the side face light guide, and
thereby the precision of separation of a position calculation map in the
end area may be improved, resulting in improved discriminating ability of
a position in the end area.
