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 medium; 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.

L'invention concerne un détecteur (64) de rayonnements ionisants, un dispositif servant à la radiographie à faisceau plan, comprenant un tel détecteur, et un procédé permettant la détection de rayonnements ionisants. Le détecteur comprend: une chambre remplie d'un milieu ionisable; un premier et un second dispositifs d'électrodes (2, 1, 18, 19), dans ladite chambre, espacés entre eux, l'espace qui les sépare contenant un volume de conversion (13); des moyens permettant d'amplifier une avalanche d'électrons (17) disposée dans ladite chambre; et, au moins un module (15) d'éléments de mesure pour la détection des avalanches d'électrons. L'invention concerne également une entrée de lumière de manière que les rayonnements entrent dans le volume de conversion entre le premier et le second dispositifs d'électrodes. Afin de garantir des avalanches bien organisées, les moyens servant à l'amplification d'avalanche d'électrons comprennent une pluralité de zones d'avalanche.
