Abstract:
    A scintillator array has a compact, two-dimensional arrangement of scintillators partitioned by light reflecting elements and light transmitting elements interposed between the scintillators. That is, the scintillator array has a lattice frame in the form of a crosswise combination of plate-like optical elements such as light reflecting elements and light transmitting elements. The lattice frame defines a plurality of cubicles. A transparent adhesive is poured into a rectangular vessel for receiving the lattice frame, the lattice frame is placed in the rectangular vessel, and then the scintillators are placed in the rectangular vessel. A cured resin object integrating the optical adhesive having cured, the lattice frame and the scintillators is removed from the vessel, and is contoured to make the scintillator array. In this way, the optical elements are arranged in the scintillator array without cutting them with a dicing saw or wire saw.
