Method of and apparatus for recording and reading out radiation image information

摘要

An apparatus for recording and reading out radiation image information including a circulatory feed system for feeding stimulable phosphor sheets. Prior to successive recording of images on the stimulable phosphor sheets, any remaining images and dust are erased from the sheets, and the sheets are checked for defects or scratches thereon. Any sheet bearing such a defect is controlled to skip image recording, readout, and erasing steps. The frequency of erasing the remaining image on a stimulable sheet in the erasing step is controlled dependent on the amount of the radiation to which the object is exposed.
