Radiation image read-out apparatus

摘要

A radiation image read-out apparatus includes a stimulating light projecting system which projects stimulating light onto a radiation image convertor panel, a detecting system which detects stimulated emission emitted from the radiation image convertor panel upon exposure to the stimulating light, and a conveyor system which conveys the stimulating light projecting system relatively to the radiation image convertor panel. The stimulating light projecting system causes the stimulating light to impinge upon the surface of the radiation image convertor panel at an angle of incidence larger than 0 DEG and smaller than 30 DEG when the stimulating light projecting system is conveyed relatively to the radiation image convertor panel by the conveyor system.
