Abstract
A radiation image read-out and reproducing apparatus wherein radiation image read-out and reproduction are carried by use of the same scanning system in the same apparatus. The light beam scanning section includes a read-out main scanning means and a reproducing main scanning means. The light source as well as the light deflector of the read-out main scanning means are the same as the light source and light deflector of the reproducing main scanning means. Further, the means for conveying the stimulable phosphor sheet for read-out and for conveying the recording sheet for reproducing are common to each other. A beam diameter adjusting means adjusts the beam diameter of the light beam between a position on the stimulable phosphor sheet and a position on the recording sheet by moving the beam diameter adjusting means into or away from an optical path of the light beam depending upon whether the light beam scans the stimulable phosphor sheet or the recorded sheet. Also included is an automatic developing machine for carrying out development on the recording sheet carrying the radiation image reproduced thereon.
