Apparatus and method for the storage and transmission of radiographic images on a suitable film-like image bearing medium, and which includes a film advancing mechanism for moving a film past a reading station where light from fiber optic cables is used to create a reproduction in digital format of an image contained on the film. The recreated image in digital format is detected by a light bar, such that light passing through the image bearing medium impinges on photo-diodes which generate a digital representation of the image. This image can be stored and retrieved for long distance transmission and review at a remote site.
