Abstract
An apparatus for converting image information generated by radiation incident on a storage layer into an electrical signal sequence by scanning the storage layer with a light beam permits a fast and precise conversion of the radiation image information into the electrical signal. This is a accomplished by connecting the scanned point of the storage layer to photodiodes functioning as light transducers via a light conductor in the form of a transparent, strip-shaped plate. The light conductor plate has a major surface adjacent to the storage area, and respective minor surfaces at opposite narrow ends thereof to which the photo diodes are connected. The apparatus can be used in x-ray television technology, such as medical x-ray diagnostics.
