Radiation image recording and read-out apparatus.

摘要

In a built-in type radiation image recording and read-out apparatus, n number of stimulable phosphor sheets (2) wherein n denotes a natural number of 3 or more are circulated and reused for image recording. Waiting zones (81, 82, 91, 92) or a stack zone (81, 92, Fig 9) for keeping waiting n-2 or more stimulable phosphor sheets exposed to a radiation are positioned between an image recording section (5) and an image read-out section (6) in the sheet advancing direction. Waiting zones or a stack zone for keeping waiting n-2 or more stimulable phosphor sheets subjected to image erasing are positioned between the image read-out section (6) and the image recording section (5) in the sheet advancing direction or between an erasing section (7) and the image recording section (5). Or, a first sheet retaining section for stimulable phosphor sheets prior to erasing is positioned between the image read-out section and the erasing section, and a second sheet retaining section for erased stimulable phosphor sheets is positioned between the erasing section and the image recording section.
