    摘要: An image recording sheet and a solid-state image detector are used. The sheet has a stimulable phosphor layer laminated on a base, and the solid-state image detector includes a photoconductive layer containing amorphous selenium as its main component and electrodes disposed on opposite sides of the photoconductive layer. An electric field is applied across the photoconductive layer so that avalanche amplification is obtained within the photoconductive layer. The sheet is scanned under the electric field with stimulating light of wavelength of about 600 nm, and photostimulated luminescence light of wavelength of about 400 nm emitted from the fluorescent layer is incident on the photoconductive layer via an optical guide and a stimulating light cut filter. Electric charge generated within the photoconductive layer is detected by a current detecting circuit, whereby a radiation image signal is obtained.

    摘要: An image signal is read out by use of a stimulable phosphor sheet having a layer of stimulable phosphor which emits stimulated emission in proportion to the stored energy of radiation upon exposure to stimulating light and a solid image sensor having a photoconductive material layer which exhibits electric conductivity upon exposure to the stimulated emission from the stimulable phosphor sheet. Stimulating light is caused to scan a stimulable phosphor sheet which has been exposed to radiation and has stored an image, the photoconductive material layer is caused to be exposed to stimulated emission emitted from the stimulable phosphor sheet upon exposure to the stimulating light. Then electric charges generated in the photoconductive material layer upon exposure to the stimulated emission is detected by applying an electric field to the photoconductive material layer. The stimulable phosphor sheet has a layer of stimulable phosphor which is stimulated by stimulating light in a wavelength range of not shorter than 600 nm and emits stimulated emission in a wavelength range of not longer than 500 nm. The solid image sensor has a photoconductive material layer whose major component is a-Se, and the electric field is such as to generate an avalanche amplification effect in the photoconductive material layer.

    摘要: A radiation image read-out apparatus includes a condenser optical system which converges stimulated emission emitted from a radiation image convertor panel upon exposure to stimulating light. A photodetector receives the stimulated emission converged by the condenser optical system and has a sensitivity to light longer in wavelength than the stimulating light and a stimulating light cut filter is disposed in the optical path of the stimulated emission between the photodetector and the radiation image convertor panel to transmit the stimulated emission and to cut the stimulating light. A longer wavelength light cut filter which transmits the stimulated emission and attenuates the intensity of light components longer in wavelength than the stimulating light is provided in the optical path of the stimulated emission between the photodetector and the radiation image convertor panel.

    摘要: When an output voltage from an acceleration sensor is judged as being larger than a reference voltage of a reference voltage setting unit, a comparator outputs a pulse signal to a holding circuit. The holding circuit holds a high-level energization signal, and an LED is energized by the energization signal supplied from the holding circuit, informing the operator that an excessively large external force has been applied to the cassette.

    摘要: Initial image data having a pixel size smaller than a pixel size of a final image are obtained by using line sensors arranged in a main scan direction and a vertical scan direction, and the final image becomes of high quality by processing the initial image data to prevent the image from becoming uneven. Integration processing means carries out a first conversion process to convert the initial image data comprising signals detected by the line sensors into data for pixels divided in the main scan direction. The integration processing means carries out a second conversion process in which, whenever the data are obtained for three consecutive pixels in the main scan direction, the data are added to become data for one pixel of the final image. The data for the final image are then subjected to an equalization process such as dark current correction carried out by a correction means.
