ABSTRACT:
A radiation image read-out apparatus comprises a read-out section for reading out a radiation image stored on a stimulable phosphor sheet, and an erasing section for erasing radiation energy remaining on the stimulable phosphor sheet after image read-out from the stimulable phosphor sheet is finished. The apparatus also comprises a cassette holding section for releasably holding a plurality of cassettes each capable of housing a stimulable phosphor sheet therein, and a sheet conveyance system for taking a stimulable phosphor sheet out of an arbitrary one of the cassettes, conveying the stimulable phosphor sheet to the read-out section and the erasing section, and then conveying the stimulable phosphor sheet into an arbitrary one of the cassettes. The apparatus may further comprise a stacker capable of supporting a plurality of the stimulable phosphor sheets, receiving the stimulable phosphor sheets erased at the erasing section, and selectively feeding the supported stimulable phosphor sheets one by one out of the stacker.
