Abstract

A radiation image recording and read-out apparatus comprises a case housing a stimulable phosphor sheet and having an opening, a light shielding cover housed in the case for projection therefrom through the opening, a recording section for exposing the stimulable phosphor sheet disposed at an exposure position in the light shielding cover projected out of the case to radiation, and a read-out section having a sub-scanning system for moving the stimulable phosphor sheet between the exposure position and a position in the case. Or, the apparatus comprises a case having an opening for passing the stimulable phosphor sheet therethrough, a recording section for exposing the stimulable phosphor sheet disposed at the exposure position in the case to radiation, and a read-out section having a sub-scanning system for moving the stimulable phosphor sheet between the exposure position and a position projected out of the case. Alternatively, the apparatus comprises a sheet feed system for reciprocating a strip-like flexible stimulable phosphor sheet between first and second wind-up shafts, and a recording section for exposing the stimulable phosphor sheet disposed between the first and second …
