ABSTRACT:
A radiation image reading apparatus, including a cassette receiving section, a scanning section, an erase section, and a transport section. The cassette receiving section is adapted to receive a cassette housing a stimulable storage phosphor sheet. The transport section is adapted to transport the sheet along a substantially linear transport path to and from a travel end point in forward and reverse directions, respectively, through the scanning section and the erase section. The scanning section is coupled to the transport section and comprises: an excitation source for directing excitation energy of a first wavelength toward the sheet; a detector for receiving light excited from the sheet by the excitation energy; and a gimbaled mounting mechanism configured to register the scanning section to the surface of the sheet.
