Abstract
A radiation image recording apparatus comprises a sheet housing section, which supports and houses at least a single stimulable phosphor sheet therein and which is exposed to radiation carrying image information of an object, a radiation image of the object being thereby stored on the stimulable phosphor sheet, which is housed in the sheet housing section. The sheet housing section is divided into at least three sheet housing compartments by a radiation energy distribution separating filter, which has good absorption characteristics with respect to low energy components of radiation and which is located in a direction approximately normal to the direction of travel of the radiation carrying image information of the object, and at least a single radiation transmitting member, which has good radiation transmitting characteristics and which is located parallel to the radiation energy distribution separating filter and at a position closer to the object than the radiation energy distribution separating filter is. Radiation images for energy subtraction processing or superposition processing are thereby obtained easily.
