ABSTRACT:
A radiation image recording and read-out apparatus suitable for use in mammography comprises, as integrated into a single unit, a mammographic image recording section, an image read-out and erasing section and a circulation and conveyance system for circulating at least one stimulable phosphor sheet through the two sections for repeated recording and read-out of radiation images. The mammographic image recording section is attached to the image read-out and erasing section to be rotatable and vertically slidable relative thereto so as to permit free selection of the recording position during mammography. The mammographic image recording section and the image read-out and erasing section have respective slots which come into alignment at a prescribed position of the mammographic image recording section relative to the image read-out and erasing section and the stimulable phosphor sheet is transferred between the two sections by the conveyance system when the mammographic image recording section is in the prescribed position.
