Abstract
A radiographic system for obtaining a visible radiation image by use of a stimulable phosphor sheet, including a spot shot apparatus featuring a transport system for transporting the stimulable sheets from the supply magazine to the receiving magazine through a park and exposure station at which radiation is directed to the sheet. A plurality of the stimulable phosphor sheets are stacked in a supply magazine and are taken-up one by one from the stack in the supply magazine. The take-up feed mechanism for taking-up stimulable phosphor sheets one by one from the supply magazine and for feeding the taken-up stimulable phosphor sheet to a transport system via a sheet advance roll assembly includes a take-up means for drawing a single stimulable phosphor sheet from a stack of stimulable phosphor sheets stored in the supply magazine by using a vacuum effect, a sheet corrugating device for corrugating the stimulable phosphor sheet in combination with the take-up means, and roll assembly for feeding the drawn stimulable phosphor sheet to the transport system for radiography by clamping it therebetween.
