Abstract
A radiation image recording and read-out apparatus comprises an endless recording belt provided with a stimulable phosphor layer; a group of rollers, around which the recording belt is applied, including two roller sections spaced from each other by a predetermined distance, for circulating the recording belt between the two roller sections along the predetermined distance; an image recording section for exposing the stimulable phosphor layer to radiation; an image read-out section for scanning the stimulable phosphor layer carrying a radiation image stored thereon with stimulating rays; and an erasing section. The predetermined distance between the roller sections is 1-1.5 times as long as the length of the largest single image recordable in the image recording section. The image recording section faces the recording belt moving between the roller sections. The image read-out section carries out scanning of the stimulable phosphor layer with stimulating rays at the circumferential surface of a roller in the group of rollers.
