Abstract
A radiation image scanner is a radiation image scanner that reads a radiation image from a front surface of an image plate (IP), and includes a stage that supports the IP from a back surface side and a setting guide including a first IP guide surface that guides the IP obliquely downward. At least one of the setting guide and the stage includes an inclined surface (second IP guide surface), which is a surface inclined downward to the opposite side with respect to the first IP guide surface, receives the IP guided by the first IP guide surface, and guides the IP obliquely downward. At least one of the stage and the setting guide includes a front-back inverting portion that comes into contact with the IP from a front surface side of the IP to invert the IP to the same inclined posture as the inclined surface.
Claims18
A radiation image scanner that reads a radiation image from a front surface of an imaging plate (IP), the radiation image scanner comprising:
- a stage that supports the IP from a back surface side;
- an excitation light source that irradiates the IP supported by the stage with excitation light;
- a photodetector that detects light emitted from the IP by the excitation light;
- and
- a setting guide that guides the IP toward the stage, the setting guide including a first IP guide surface that guides the IP obliquely downward, the first IP guide surface being inclined downward,
- wherein at least one of the setting guide and the stage include a second IP guide surface being inclined downward,
- the second IP guide surface is a surface that is inclined downward to an opposite side with respect to the first IP guide surface, receives the IP guided by the first IP guide surface, and guides the IP obliquely downward, and
- at least one of the stage and the setting guide include a front-back inverting portion that inverts the IP in an inclined attitude identical to the second IP guide surface while coming into contact with the IP guided by the second IP guide surface from a front surface side of the IP.
A setting guide that guides an imaging plate (IP) toward a stage that supports the IP from a back surface side, comprising:
- a first IP guide surface that guides the IP obliquely downward, the first IP guide surface being inclined downward;
- a second IP guide surface being inclined downward, the second IP guide surface being a surface that is inclined downward to an opposite side with respect to the first IP guide surface, receives the IP guided by the first IP guide surface, and guides the IP obliquely downward, and
- a front-back inverting portion that inverts the IP in an inclined attitude identical to the second IP guide surface while coming into contact with the IP guided by the second IP guide surface from a front surface side of the IP.
A radiation image scanner that reads a radiation image from a front surface of an imaging plate (IP), the radiation image scanner comprising:
- a stage that supports the IP from a back surface side;
- an excitation light source that irradiates the IP supported by the stage with excitation light;
- a photodetector that detects light emitted from the IP by the excitation light;
- and
- a first IP guide surface that guides the IP obliquely downward, the first IP guide surface being inclined downward,
- wherein the stage includes a second IP guide surface being inclined downward,
- the second IP guide surface is a surface that is inclined downward to an opposite side with respect to the first IP guide surface, receives the IP guided by the first IP guide surface, and guides the IP obliquely downward, and
- the stage includes a front-back inverting portion that inverts the IP in an inclined attitude identical to the second IP guide surface while coming into contact with the IP guided by the second IP guide surface from a front surface side of the IP.
