Abstract
A cassette includes a hollow shell having a drawer on which a photostimulable luminescent (PSL) substrate is attached, such as by adhesive or the like. The drawer is movable into and out of the shell so the substrate can be exposed to x-rays while in the shell but can be scanned with scanning equipment when the drawer is out of the shell.
