An object of the present invention is to enable a scintillator panel of a type having a barrier rib to have sufficient mechanical strength and enhanced brightness. A scintillator panel including a substrate, a barrier rib formed on the substrate, and a scintillator layer having a phosphor and sectioned by the barrier rib, wherein the barrier rib contains one or more compounds (P) selected from the group consisting of polyimides, polyamides, polyamideimides, and polybenzoxazoles.

Organic glass scintillator materials as well as corresponding methods and systems are described.

A radiological image conversion panel, having a phosphor layer containing therein a fluorescent substance which emits light through radiation exposure, is manufactured by forming the fluorescent substance into respective columnar structures on one of surfaces of a substrate to thereby obtain a phosphor layer made up of a group of columnar structures. The panel is subsequently manufactured by forming reflection films by respectively covering an outer surface of each of the columnar structures with a reflection film while leaving a gap between respective adjoining columnar structures, the reflection film being arranged to reflect light of a predetermined wavelength. In case a refractive index of the gap is lower than a refractive index of the columnar structures, the reflection films are formed of an inorganic material having a higher refractive index than the refractive index of the columnar structures.
