Abstract:
An apparatus and method for removing stored energy from a storage phosphor screen in which a radiation image was recorded and then read by collecting stimulated emission from the phosphor sheet. The method is accomplished by directing onto the storage phosphor sheet an erasing light having substantially no light of a wavelength of shorter than 410 nm. The apparatus of an erasing light is provided by coating a light source with a yellow dye.
Abstract:
A device for acquiring information contained in a phosphor layer comprises a light source (2) for irradiating the phosphor layer (1) with excitation light (3) that is suitable for exciting emission light (4) in the phosphor layer (1), a detector (6) for detecting the emission light (4) that has been excited in the phosphor layer (1), and a filter device (8), arranged between the phosphor layer (1) and the detector (6), that is substantially transparent in a first wavelength range (W1) of the emission light (4) and substantially non-transparent in a second wavelength range (W2) of the excitation light (3). To increase the reliability during the acquisition of the emission light, the filter device (8) is made substantially non-transparent in at least a third wavelength range (W3) having longer wavelengths than the second wavelength range (W2) of the excitation light (3).

Abstract:
There is described an image inputting apparatus for inputting a radiation image that is formed on a radiation sensitive panel by projecting radial rays penetrated through a subject. The apparatus includes a detector to detect the radiation image projected onto the radiation sensitive panel and a sensitivity compensating section to automatically find a sensitivity compensation value, which is employed for compensating for a sensitivity of the detector so that a signal value of the radiation image detected by the detector is substantially equal to a predetermined ideal value when a predetermined dose of the radial rays is irradiated onto the radiation sensitive panel. The apparatus also includes a storage section to store the predetermined ideal value of the signal value. The sensitivity compensating section finds an optimum sensitivity-offset value, which makes the signal value of the radiation image equal to the predetermined ideal value stored in the storage section.

Abstract:
A double-sided stimulable phosphor sheet, which emits light from both sides thereof when exciting light is applied to a recording surface thereof, is fed in an auxiliary scanning direction indicated by the arrow A by first and second roller pairs. First and second guide members are disposed on the side of the reverse surface of the stimulable phosphor sheet, for guiding the stimulable phosphor sheet, and a glass guide is disposed on the side of the reverse surface of the stimulable phosphor sheet in a position where a laser beam is applied to the stimulable phosphor sheet. The first and second guide members and the glass guide are integrally mounted on a guide mount. Radiation image information recorded on the stimulable phosphor sheet can efficiently be read highly accurately without damage being caused to the stimulable phosphor sheet.

A reading unit has a scanner unit including a stimulating system, a CCD line sensor, and a position restricting mechanism, which are integrally mounted on a scanner head. The position restricting mechanism has first rubber rollers disposed for rolling contact with a surface of a stimulable phosphor sheet, and a second rubber roller disposed for rolling contact with an opposite surface of the stimulable phosphor sheet. The first rubber rollers and the second rubber roller serve to position a reading line on the stimulable phosphor sheet.
