An electronic cassette for radiation imaging has an image detection device for forming an image of an object irradiated with radiation. The image detection device includes a housing. A window opening is formed in the housing, for receiving the radiation. A scintillator is contained in the housing, for converting the radiation from the window opening into light. A detection panel is contained in the housing, disposed between the scintillator and window opening, for converting the light into a signal. A radio transparent plate of a quadrilateral shape is disposed to close the window opening, is radio transparent to the radiation, has at least high and low thermal conductivity sheets arranged in a direction of entry of the radiation into the housing, the radio transparent plate being so anisotropic that thermal conductivity is higher in a longitudinal direction of the quadrilateral shape than in a transverse direction of the quadrilateral shape.
