Abstract
A radiation image read-out apparatus comprises a sheet feed section capable of selectively holding a cassette for housing a single stimulable phosphor sheet carrying a radiation image stored thereon or a magazine for housing a plurality of stimulable phosphor sheets each carrying a radiation image stored thereon. The sheet feed section is provided with a sheet take-out device for taking the stimulable phosphor sheet out of the cassette and the magazine. A read-out section is provided for reading out the radiation image by exposing the stimulable phosphor sheet to stimulating rays which cause the stimulable phosphor sheet to emit light in proportion to the stored radiation energy, and photoelectrically detecting the emitted light. A sheet conveyor conveys the stimulable phosphor sheet taken out of the sheet feed section to the read-out section.
