Abstract
A method of reading out a radiographic image by storing radiation energy corresponding to a radiographic image on a stimulative phosphor layer on a panel, scanning the layer with a semi-conductor laser to release the energy as fluorescence, and detecting the fluorescence to form an image, wherein wavelengths having an intensity lower than an excitation wavelength intensity of said laser are removed by optical means before scanning the layer.
