Radiation image read-out apparatus.

摘要

A radiation image read-out apparatus comprises a source for emitting stimulating rays (2a) for scanning a stimulable phosphor sheet (10) carrying a radiation image stored therein, a photoelectric read-out means (8) for detecting light emitted by the stimulable phosphor sheet when it is scanned by stimulating rays, and a reflection mirror (14) positioned near a portion of the stimulable phosphor sheet where stimulating rays impinge thereupon for reflecting light (2b) emitted by the stimulable phosphor sheet towards the photoelectric read-out system. The reflection mirror is fabricated to be moveable between a position at which the reflection mirror reflects light, which is emitted by the stimulable phosphor sheet, towards the photoelectric read-out means and a position at which the reflection mirror does not reflect stimulating rays, which are reflected by the stimulable phosphor sheet, towards the stimulable phosphor sh eet.
