Apparatus for converting radiation image information carried by a storage layer into a television signal sequence

摘要

An apparatus for converting radiation image information carried by a storage layer into a television pulse sequence has a drum with a surface on which the storage layer is disposed, a scanning light beam directed to said surface, the drum and the beam being rotatable relative to one another and axially displaceable for conducting a line scan and a change of line. The light signals thus acquired from said storage layer are supplied on an optical path to a photo-electric transducer. A fast and precise conversion of the radiation image information is achieved with the storage layer on the inside wall of the drum and the scan beam conducted via a deflection mirror disposed in the center of the drum, and with a lightguide for the optical connection between the scan surface of the layer and the transducer.
