ABSTRACT:
A radiation image read-out apparatus comprises a sheet receiving section for receiving a stimulable phosphor sheet carrying a radiation image stored thereon, a sheet storing section for storing a plurality of stimulable phosphor sheets, and an image read-out section provided with a stimulating ray source for emitting stimulating rays for scanning the stimulable phosphor sheet carrying the radiation image stored thereon, and a photodetector for detecting light emitted by the stimulable phosphor sheet scanned with stimulating rays to obtain an electric image signal. The apparatus also comprises an erasing section for having the stimulable phosphor sheet release radiation energy remaining thereon after image read-out is conducted, and a sheet conveyance system provided with a sheet holding mechanism for holding the stimulable phosphor sheet transferably with respect to the sheet receiving section, the sheet storing section, the image read-out section, and the erasing section. The sheet conveyance system moves the sheet holding mechanism in a arbitrary order among the sections.
