ABSTRACT:
A light collector for collecting and detecting emitted light from a raster scanned photo-stimulable phosphor sheet in photo-stimulable phosphor imaging apparatus includes a generally rectangular mirror box having two opposite open ends, one of the open ends being arranged along the scan line of the photo-stimulable phosphor, and a plurality of photomultiplier tubes being arranged at the other open end of the mirror box. An elongated mirror is arranged opposite the one open end of the mirror box for directing light emitted from the phosphor sheet into the mirror box.
