A light distribution system which enables the scanning of radiographic images to provide an electrical signal representation of the radiographic image which can be processed, stored and retrieved and transmitted for viewing at a remote site. In particular, the light distribution system relies upon a laser light source which distributes light to a rotating single optical fiber and which then successively distributes light to individual optical fibers which are located initially in a circular array. The light carried by these individual optical fibers is delivered to a linearizing member where the light is then arranged in a linear array so that each of the optical fibers delivers the light in this linear array. A detector located on an opposite side of a substrate with respect to the linear array of light can then be scanned on a line by line basis and with the light information generated thereby digitized and stored.
