Abstract @ A radiation image read-out system comprises a point-source light for projecting a spot of stimulating rays onto a stimulable phosphor sheet carrying a radiation image stored therein, and a solid state photoelectric converter which is opposed to the spot-like portion of the stimulable phosphor sheet exposed to the spot of stimulating rays and is adapted to receive light from the spot-like portion. The point-source light and the solid state photoelectric converter are moved with respect to the stimulable phosphor sheet to two- dimensionally scan the stimulable phosphor sheet, thereby reading out the radiation image stored therein.
A radiation image information read-out system comprising point-source light for projecting a spot of stimulating rays onto a stimulable phosphor sheet carrying a radiation image stored therein, a solid state photoelectric converter which is opposed to the spot-like portion of the stimulable phosphor sheet exposed to the spot of stimulating rays and is adapted to receive light emitted from the spot-like portion to convert it into an electric signal, and driving means for moving the point-source light and the solid state photoelectric converter with respect to the stimulable phosphor sheet to scan the same.
