Abstract

A radiation image read-out apparatus comprises a device for irradiating stimulating rays to a stimulable phosphor sheet, on which a radiation image has been stored. The stimulating rays cause the stimulable phosphor sheet to emit light in proportion to the amount of energy stored thereon during its exposure to radiation. A first photoelectric conversion device photoelectrically detects the emitted light and generates an image signal representing the radiation image. A second photoelectric conversion device photoelectrically detects the stimulating rays, which have been reflected from the stimulable phosphor sheet, and thereby generates a monitor signal. From the monitor signal, a detection device detects location of a pattern caused to occur in the radiation image, which is represented by the image signal, by dust clinging to the stimulable phosphor sheet.
