Abstract
A radiation image read-out apparatus comprises a cassette holding section for releasably holding a cassette which houses a stimulable phosphor sheet carrying a radiation image stored thereon, and feeding out the stimulable phosphor sheet, a read-out section for reading out the radiation image stored on the stimulable phosphor sheet, and an erasing section for erasing radiation energy remaining on the stimulable phosphor sheet after the image read-out. A stacker accommodates a plurality of stimulable phosphor sheets and feeds out them one by one. A first conveyance system conveys the stimulable phosphor sheet fed out of the cassette holding section into the stacker, and conveys the stimulable phosphor sheet fed out of the stacker to the read-out section and the erasing section. A second conveyance system conveys the stimulable phosphor sheet passing through the erasing section into the stacker, and conveys the stimulable phosphor sheet taken out of the stacker into the cassette at the cassette holding section.
