Radiation image recording and read-out system.

摘要

In a radiation image recording system in which a radiation image is recorded on a stimulable phosphor and then read out to reproduce a visible radiation image, at least one recording material (2) formed of a phosphor layer and fixed on a supporting material (1) is circulated and reused to record radiation images thereon. The system comprises a mechanism (3,4) for circulating the recording material with respect to the image read-out section (7, 8. 9, 10) by repeatedly moving the supporting material and the image read-out section with respect to each other, and an erasing apparatus (11) for eliminating the radiation energy remaining on the recording material after the read-out step. The supporting material is an endless belt and the recording layer is a phosphor sheet. In other embodiments the supporting material is a rotatable drum or a plate, and the recording material may be a continuous phosphor layer.
