Radiation image recording and reproducing system

A radiation image recording and reproducing system for exposing a stimulable phosphor sheet to a radiation carrying image information to have the image information stored on the stimulable phosphor sheet in an image recording apparatus, thereafter scanning the stimulable phosphor sheet by stimulating rays, which cause the stimulable phosphor sheet to emit light in proportion to the stored radiation energy, in a read-out apparatus, photoelectrically detecting the emitted light, and scanning a recording sheet by recording light modulated on the basis of the image information thus read out to reproduce the image information on the recording sheet and developing the reproduced image information in an image reproducing apparatus,

• wherein the improvement comprises constituting said image reproducing apparatus to carry out the reproduction and the development of the image information, which is recorded in a plurality of said image recording apparatuses, via said read-out apparatus, providing said image reproducing apparatus with a plurality of trays, distributing and feeding said recording sheet, on which the development has been finished, into any one of said trays, and carrying out said distribution of said recording sheet in accordance with the image recording apparatus which was used for recording said image information reproduced and developed on said recording sheet.
