Abstract
An apparatus housing and a controller are separate from each other, and opposite sides of a second casing of the apparatus housing have respective first and second cable ports defined therein for extending a cable connected to the controller. With the cable extended through the first cable port or the second cable port, the layout of the apparatus housing and the controller can easily be changed. Therefore, the apparatus housing and the controller can be installed in any of various layout patterns.
Claims9
A radiation image information reading apparatus for repeatedly recording and reading radiation image information of a subject using a stimulable phosphor sheet housed therein, comprising:
- an apparatus housing accommodating therein a reading unit for applying stimulating light to the stimulable phosphor sheet with radiation image information recorded thereon to photoelectrically read the radiation image information, and an erasing assembly for erasing remaining radiation image information from the stimulable phosphor sheet after the recorded radiation image information is read from the stimulable phosphor sheet;
- and
- a controller connected to said apparatus housing by a cable, for controlling at least said reading unit and said erasing assembly in said apparatus housing;
- said apparatus housing having at least two cable ports, said cable being extended selectively through said cable ports.
A radiation image information reading apparatus comprising:
- a reading unit for applying stimulating light to a stimulable phosphor sheet with radiation image information recorded thereon to photoelectrically read the radiation image information from said stimulable phosphor sheet;
- an erasing assembly for erasing remaining radiation image information from the stimulable phosphor sheet after the recorded radiation image information is read from the stimulable phosphor sheet;
- a feed system for feeding said stimulable phosphor sheet;
- a first casing housing said feed system and said erasing assembly therein;
- and
- a second casing housing said reading unit therein, said second casing being separate from said first casing.
