ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for photoelectrically detecting a radiation image of an object stored on a stimulable phosphor sheet by exposure to a radiation passing through the object and storing detected image signals comprises a circuit for recognizing an irradiation field on the stimulable phosphor sheet, and an image signal selection circuit for receiving irradiation field information generated by the irradiation field recognition circuit and selecting only the image signals inside of the irradiation field from the read-out image signals. Or, the apparatus comprises a section for creating a histogram of the read-out image signals, a histogram analysis section for determining a range of the read-out image signals outside of a peak region arising in the vicinity of the maximum signal value or the minimum signal value in the histogram, and an image signal selection circuit for receiving the output of the histogram analysis section and selecting only the image signals within the range from the read-out image signals.
