Device and system for reading out x-ray information stored in storage phosphor plates

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The apparatus has a laser for irradiating laser beam with respect to the storage phosphor plate (1) that comprises a carrier layer (1b) made of ferrite steel. A detecting unit detects emitted light excited in the storage phosphor plate. A transport device has a roll drive that drives a roll (10) about an axis of rotation (11) such that storage phosphor plate is transported relative to the laser. The magnetic area (14) is formed in the roll in form a helical shape. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is included for system for reading out X-ray information stored in storage phosphor plate. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# X-ray information reading apparatus of X-ray information reading system (claimed) for reading out X-ray information stored in storage phosphor plate. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# Since magnetic area is formed in the roll in form helical shape, the storage phosphor plate is attracted by magnetic force. Hence jerk-free transportation is attained with high reliability. The simple replacement of the storage phosphor plate from the roll is made possible by switching off the magnetic force between storage phosphor plate and roll. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows the schematic view of the X-ray information reading apparatus. 1 : Storage phosphor plate 1b : Carrier layer 10 : Roll 11 : Axis of rotation 14 : Magnetic area.
