A photostimulable plate reading device

摘要

A photostimulable plate reading device (10) including at least one photostimulable plate (12) carrying image data and having two opposite surfaces, an illuminator (20) for homogeneously illuminating a first one of the two opposite surfaces of the at least one photostimulable plate (12) with light emitted in a first wavelength range, the illumination causing the at least one photostimulable plate both to emit light in a second wavelength range by photostimulated luminescence and to scatter light in the first wavelength range; a filter (22) for preventing the light scattered in the first wavelength range from passing and for allowing the light emitted in the second wavelength range to pass, the filter facing a second one of the two opposite surfaces of the at least one photostimulable plate (12); and a detector (24) composed of a two dimensional array of pixels for detecting the light allowed to pass and for obtaining image data therefrom.
