Abstract
A radiographical image reader for photoelectrically reading a radiographical image of an object. The image reader comprises a radioactive ray irradiator; a radiographical image converting panel which is a radioactive ray absorbent for absorbing the radioactive ray transmitted through through the object so that a radiographical image information is obtained; a scanner to scan the converting panel with exciting light so that the converting panel is subjected to stimulated emission; a reader to read the stimulated emission of the converting panel so that the radiographical image is obtained; a first memory to store at least one of a radioactive ray irradiating condition, object information, and image identification code; a second memory to store a radiographical image information; and a circuit to control the functions of the reader, the first memory, and the second memory in accordance with said irradiation of the radioactive ray by the irradiator.
