ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for producing x-ray images by computer radiography has a storage plate on which x-rays are incident after passing through an examination subject, and an image reader for detecting the photo-stimulatable luminescence of the storage plate. The storage plate has a carrier which is impenetrable by the radiation beams used for detecting the luminescence, the carrier having two major flat sides each having a photostimulatable storage layer thereon. Each side has a read-out system associated therewith for double sided read-out of the storage plate. By undertaking a double-sided read-out, increased absorption of the x-rays in the storage plate can be exploited, and thus a correspondingly increased efficiency in the read-out can be obtained.
