ABSTRACT:
A stimulable phosphor sheet, on which a radiation image has been stored, is exposed to stimulating rays, which cause it to emit light in proportion to the amount of energy stored thereon during its exposure to radiation. The light emitted by the front surface of the stimulable phosphor sheet and the light emitted by the back surface of the stimulable phosphor sheet, are detected photoelectrically. The image signal components of the two image signals are subtracted from each other, which represent corresponding picture elements on the front and back surfaces of the stimulable phosphor sheet, difference values being thereby obtained. A judgment is made as to whether each of the difference values falls or does not fall within a predetermined range. In cases where a difference value is judged as being outside the predetermined range, it is determined that an abnormal signal component is contained in at least either one of the two image signals.
