ABSTRACT:
A storage phosphor reader which has a stage for moving a storage phosphor in a first direction past a reading station; a storage phosphor extraction assembly mounted on the stage for extracting a storage phosphor from a stationary cassette and for moving the storage phosphor onto and off the stage in second opposite directions perpendicular to the first opposite directions; a plunger assembly mounted on the stage for supporting a storage phosphor during movement of the stage in the first direction, the plunger assembly being movable between an extended position to support a storage phosphor and a retracted position out of contact with a storage phosphor; and a cam and cam follower for moving the plunger assembly from the retracted position to the extended position when the extraction assembly has completely extracted a storage phosphor from the cassette and moved the storage phosphor onto the stage and for moving the plunger assembly from the extended position to the retracted position when the storage phosphor is being moved onto or off of the stage.
