Abstract
A method for recording and reproducing a radiation image including the steps of (1) causing a radiation image storage panel containing a photostimulable phosphor to absorb penetrating radiation having passed through an object or having been radiated from an object, (2) exposing the image storage panel to stimulating rays to release the radiation energy stored therein as light emission and (3) detecting the emitted light, wherein the stimulating rays are emitted by an electroliuminescent element.
