1. A radiation detector comprising:
radiation detecting means for detecting incident radiation to output a detected signal,
signal processing means for processing the detected signal from the radiation detecting means, and
a wiring substrate section having a wiring substrate with a conduction path provided for guiding the detected signal between a signal input surface and a signal output surface, the radiation detecting means and the signal processing means being connected to the signal input surface and the signal output surface, respectively, wherein
the wiring substrate includes a glass substrate formed of a predetermined glass material having a radiation shielding function and provided with a through hole, and a conductive member provided in the through hole to serve as the conduction path for establishing electrical continuity between the signal input surface and the signal output surface, and
the radiation detecting means, the wiring substrate section, and the signal processing means are located in that order along a predetermined alignment direction, while an opening of the through hole provided in the wiring substrate from the signal input surface to the signal output surface is blocked with a shield member having a radiation shielding function.
