A radiation image capturing system capable of improving image quality of a radiation image is provided. A position of a joint of a grid is determined in consideration of displacement of an angle of incidence of radiation on a grid unit and a radiation detector group, and a joint image caused by the joint of the grid is prevented from being included in a search range of a position of a boundary in the radiation image captured by the radiation detector. The joint of the grid is provided in a position away (y1+2y2)tan or more from a position of a step of the radiation detector.

Disclosed herein is a scintillator comprising a plurality of garnet compositions in a single block having the structural formula (1):

M.sup.1.sub.aM.sup.2.sub.bM.sup.3.sub.cM.sup.4.sub.dO.sub.12(1)

where O represents oxygen, M.sup.1, M.sup.2, M.sup.3, and M.sup.4 represents a first, second, third and fourth metal that are different from each other, where the sum of a+b+c+d is about 8, where a has a value of 2 to 3.5, b has a value of 0 to 5, c has a value of 0 to 5 d has a value of 0 to 1, where b and c, b and d or c and d cannot both be equal to zero simultaneously, where M.sup.1 is rare earth element including gadolinium, yttrium, lutetium, or a combination thereof, M.sup.2 is aluminum or boron, M.sup.3 is gallium and M.sup.4 is a codopant; wherein two compositions having identical structural formulas are not adjacent to each other and wherein the single block is devoid of optical interfaces between different compositions.

The present invention provides a scintillator panel which is capable of utilizing light emitted by a phosphor at a high efficiency due to particles having a high refractive index being dispersed within a scintillator layer in a favorable state, which thus allows for a marked reduction in the amount of radiation exposure to a subject or the like, and which has a high luminance. The present invention also provides a scintillator panel including a substrate, and a scintillator layer containing metal compound particles and a phosphor, wherein the phosphor is covered by the metal compound at a coverage ratio of 5% or more.
