Abstract
A radiation image read-out apparatus comprises a read-out section for reading out a radiation image stored on a stimulable phosphor sheet, an erasing section for erasing radiation energy remaining on the stimulable phosphor sheet after image read-out from the stimulable phosphor sheet is finished, a section for releasably holding a sheet feed cassette capable of housing the image-recorded stimulable phosphor sheet and for taking the stimulable phosphor sheet out of the sheet feed cassette toward the read-out section, and a section for releasably holding a sheet housing cassette capable of housing the stimulable phosphor sheet erased at the erasing section. The apparatus also comprises a sheet stacking section for holding a plurality of erased stimulable phosphor sheets having different sizes, selecting the stimulable phosphor sheet having a desired size one at a time from the stimulable phosphor sheets held at the sheet stacking section, and feeding out the selected stimulable phosphor sheet towards the section for holding the sheet housing cassette.
