Abstract

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.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 94 words
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.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 94 words
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.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 105 words
A radiation image information read-out system as defined in Claim 1 in which said solid state photoelectric converter comprises a light shielding layer having a transparent window of a size corresponding to the size of a picture element, a first transparent electrode layer, a photoconductive material layer having a band gap not larger. than the energy of radiation having the wavelength of the light emitted from the stimulable phosphor sheet upon exposure to the spot of stimulating rays, and a second transparent electrode layer stacked on a transparent substrate in this order, and is formed integrally with said point-source light disposed behind the transparent substrate.
