Abstract
Disclosed herein is a radiation image information recording and reading apparatus which basically comprises first and second recording units, a reading unit, an erasing unit and a feed system. In the apparatus, either one of the first and second recording units is first selected. Then, an object set on the selected recording unit is irradiated with radiation emitted from a radiation source to produce a radiation-transmitted image, which is in turn recorded on a stimulable phosphor sheet. The stimulable phosphor sheet is illuminated with stimulating rays to emit accelerated light therefrom. Thereafter, the produced light is photoelectrically read to produce an image signal corresponding to the radiation-transmitted image. Thus, the radiation photography of an object can easily be made by selecting either one of the first and second recording units according to parts of the object to be radiographed. Therefore, a reduction in the cost borne by a user can easily be achieved and an increase in space for the apparatus to be installed can be avoided.
