ABSTRACT:
A storage phosphor imaging system includes a scanner for scanning a storage phosphor storing an x-ray image to produce an x-ray light image, a converter for converting the x-ray light image into a digital x-ray image signal having a range of code values, and a storage phosphor erase light assembly for erasing the storage phosphor of substantially all residual image. Apparatus for controlling the erase light assembly includes a digital image processor for determining the maximum code value of a digital x-ray image signal which is produced from an x-ray image stored in a storage phosphor to be erased; and a controller for controlling the time of actuation of the erase light assembly as a function of the determined maximum code value.
