PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide computerized radiation image measurement for an elongated image of the backbone, legs, etc. SOLUTION: Apparatus (100) for radiographically imaging elongated objects comprises: a vertical main frame; a base mounted on the main frame; a first support on said base for supporting a first cassette containing a first storage phosphor imaging plate; a door hingedly mounted on said base for movement between open and closed positions; a door having a light-tight enclosure for supporting a second cassette containing a second storage phosphor imaging plate removably mounted within a cassette shell; and a first mechanism for removing the cassette shell from the second storage phosphor imaging plate which remains supported within the light-tight enclosure. When the door is in the closed position, the second storage phosphor imaging plate overlaps the first storage phosphor imaging plate, whereby an elongated object can be radiographically imaged onto the overlapping first and second storage phosphor imaging plates.
