<p>A detector (64) for detection of ionizing radiation, an apparatus for use in planar beam radiography, comprising such a detector, and a method for detecting ionizing radiation. The detector comprises a chamber filled with an ionizable gas; first and second electrode arrangements (2, 1, 18, 19) provided in said chamber with a space between them, said space including a conversion volume (13); means for electron avalanche amplification (17) arranged in said chamber; and at least one arrangement of read-out elements (15) for detection of electron avalanches. A radiation entrance is provided so that radiation enters the conversion volume between the first and second electrode arrangements. In order to achieve well-defined avalanches the means for electron avalanche amplification includes a plurality of avalanche regions. The detector, apparatus and method is advantageous since it prevents the formation of harmful sparks.</p> |
