Reading and reproducing device for radiograph image information

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To miniaturize the whole system and to reduce the cost of production by simultaneously executing the reading and reproduction of image information by means of the same scanning system of the same device and feeding an exposed silver salt photographic film to an automatic developing means by utilizing a carrier means in the device. CONSTITUTION: The reading the radiograph information for an accumulating type fluorescent material sheet 1 and the reproduction of the said information for a recording sheet 5 are executed in a light scanning part 20 by using a main scanning means and a sub scanning means in common. And the exposed silver salt photographic film 2 is stored in a cassette 3 which is loaded in a sheet-shaped substance supply part 10 a magazine 4 and a magazine 6 which is loaded in a sheet-shaped substance supply part 40 in stead of the accumulating type fluorescent material sheet 1 and the recording sheet 5. Namely, the silver salt photographic film 2 is taken out with the outputs from detecting means 7A, 7B and 7C as well as the accumulating type fluorescent material sheet 1 and the recording sheet 5 and carried to the automatic developing part 100 by a 5th carrier means which is used in common as 1st, 2nd and 4th carrier means 60, 70 and 90. Thus, the whole system can be miniaturized and the cost of production can be reduced. COPYRIGHT: (C)1989,JPO&Japio
