摘要:
The invention relates to a device and corresponding method for reading out X-ray information stored in a fluorescent storage layer (1), said device comprising a light source (2) for producing a stimulation light beam (3), which can excite the fluorescent storage layer (1), thereby causing the fluorescent storage layer to send out emitted light, and a refracting element (4) for refracting the stimulation light beam (3) in such a way that the refracted stimulation light beam (3') is moved across the fluorescent storage layer (1). In order to achieve the highest possible quality of the obtained X-ray image in the most simple and economical manner possible, a drive device (5) is provided in order to drive the refracting element (4) by providing driving energy to the refracting element (4) according to the location of the refracted stimulation light beam (3') and/or according to the position, in particular the angular position, of the refracting element (4).
