ABSTRACT:
A cassette for erasing remnant radiation images on a stimulable phosphor sheet without the necessity of taking out the sheet includes a casing for accommodating the stimulable phosphor sheet and a cover pivotally mounted to the casing so as to be opened or closed. The cassette also includes a light reflecting member for reflecting or diffusing the light introduced from outside the cassette for irradiation on an image recording region of the sheet, or a light transmitting member for transmitting the light introduced from outside the cassette or the light from an inner light source, or a light emitting device mounted at least in register wiht the image recording area of the stimulable phosphor sheet contained in the cassette.
An erasure device for a stimulable phosphor sheet employing the cassette is adapted to erase radiation energies stored in the sheet by irradiating the sheet with an erasure light, and includes a housing, a device provided in the housing for opening the cassette placed at a predetermined position within the housing and accommodating the stimulable phosphor sheet to be erased, and a light source device provided in the housing and adapted for irradiating the erasure light on the stimulable phosphor sheet within the cassette in the opened state. The arrangement is suitably applied to cases wherein the stimulable phosphor sheet is stored without being used for prolonged time, in which cases the sheet may be employed directly since the secondary erasure directly before usage of the sheet is not required.
