An image reading apparatus (10) includes a casing (12) having a side panel which has a cassette loading slot (14) defined therein for loading a cassette (20) therein. A stimulable phosphor sheet (18) stored in the cassette (20) loaded in the cassette loading slot (14) is removed from the cassette (20) and fed vertically downwardly along a first vertical feed path (30). Radiation image information recorded in the stimulable phosphor sheet (18) is read by a reader (32). Thereafter, the stimulable phosphor sheet (18) is stored back into the cassette (20), which is then delivered toward a cassette unloading slot (16) by a sliding displacement mechanism (24). The stimulable phosphor sheet (18) is removed again from the cassette (20), and fed along a second vertical feed path (52) for an eraser (54) to erase remaining radiation image information from the stimulable phosphor sheet (18).
