Abstract: A method and apparatus for reading a latent image stored in a photo-stimulated luminescence imaging plate by scanning the imaging plate with a focussed beam of light of a first wavelength to stimulate the stored image to emit light of a second wavelength; collecting the light emitted by the imaging plate; and directing the collected light to a light detector which converts the collected light to electrical signals. The light emitted by the imaging plate is collected by a non-imaging optical system which includes a dichroic mirror selectively directing light of the second wavelength to the light detector and light of the first wavelength away from the light detector.

Abstract: A film holder for a video display system, having a probe with a head portion, a processor, a monitor, and a printer for producing a permanent hard copy of the image received by the probe, includes a housing for positioning the film relative to the head of the video probe. The housing is provided with an aperture for receiving, positioning, and securing the head of the video probe within the housing. The housing also includes a diffuser for diffusing light entering the housing, and a slidable frame positioned between the diffuser and the housing aperture. The sliding frame is employed to secure the film at a predetermined distance from the head of the video probe. The sliding frame is provided with quick release fasteners so that individual pieces of x-ray film are easily interchanged within the frame.

Abstract: A conventional flat bed greyscale digitizing scanner which operates in conjunction with reflective media is retrofitted with an adapter assembly which permits it additionally to process X-ray film transparencies. Accordingly, the resulting apparatus, in addition to performing digitization of data imprinted on reflective media, is also capable of digitizing X-ray images on X-ray film transparencies. The adapter assembly is constucted to be easily mounted on a conventional flat bed scanner to permit the scanner to process the film transparencies, and to be easily removable from the conventional scanner to permit the scanner to operate in a conventional mode to process reflective media. The scanner may be constructed to perform transparency digitization and to provide an optical density dynamic range greater than the prior art CCD technology used in the more expensive machines will allow.

Abstract: A light beam scanning apparatus includes a light source array composed of a plurality of light sources, which are arrayed in a predetermined direction, a shutter array composed of a plurality of electric shutters, which are arrayed in a direction corresponding to the predetermined direction, and a lens array composed of a plurality of lenses is located at positions corresponding to the positions of the electric shutters of the shutter array. The lenses form images of light beams, which are produced by the plurality of the light sources, as light spots having predetermined diameters on a material. A control circuit controls the timing, with which the light beams are produced by the plurality of the light sources, and the timing, with which the plurality of the electric shutters are opened and closed, such that the material may be scanned with the light spots.
