Abstract
A radiation image recording and read-out apparatus comprises stimulable phosphor layers provided respectively on one surface and the other surface of a flexible belt, which belt changes the distribution of the radiation energy, whereby radiation images containing different embedded images on a specific structure of an object are recorded on the two stimulable phosphor layers with a single, simultaneous exposure to radiation. The two stimulable phosphor layers may be provided as two separate sheets. Two independent image read-out sections for reading out the radiation images stored on the stimulable phosphor layers, and two independent erasing sections for erasing radiation energy remaining on the stimulable phosphor layers are provided for the two stimulable phosphor layers, so that the two radiation images are read out simultaneously. Alternatively, each image read-out section and erasing section pair may be provided as separate readout and erasing unit.
