Title:
RADIOLOGICAL IMAGE READER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2011053459
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a radiological image reader having improved sensitivity in reading a radiological image.

The radiological image reader reads radiological images from an imaging plate. The reader includes: a holder that holds the imaging plate in a flat manner; a light source that emits excitation light; a scanning mechanism that causes an optical path of the excitation light emitted from the light source to rotate around a rotation axis being perpendicular to a scanning plane including a radiological image forming surface of the imaging plate held by the holder and being apart from the light source, and causes an irradiation point which is irradiated with the excitation light emitted from the light source to circularly move on the scanning plane; a photodetector that is provided on the rotation axis and detects stimulated light emitted from the irradiation point; and a relative movement mechanism that causes the holder to move in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis, relative to the scanning mechanism.
