Abstract
A method of reading a radiation image converting panel whereby pillar-shaped stimulatable fluorescent substances formed on a supporting member by deposition are excited by irradiating excitation light to a surface of the radiation image converting panel on which radiation energy has been stored and recorded by irradiation of the radiation; emitting the radiation energy as photostimulated fluorescent light; and reading out the photostimulated fluorescent light photoelectrically from both surfaces of the radiation image converting panel.
