Abstract (en)
[origin: CA2345266A1] A multiple-head scanning device (20) for reading an image stored on a photostimulable phosphor storage screen (10), comprising, a rotatable frame having a center (13) and an outer perimeter (15); a photomultiplier tube (40 ) mounted to the rotatable frame at a location proximal the center (13) of the rotatable frame; a plurality of radially extending optical trains (12) mount ed to the rotatable frame at 120 degrees to one another, each optical train (12 ) configured to direct incident laser light towards phosphor storage screen (1 0) and to direct response radiation emitted by phosphor storage (10) screen in response to the incident laser light towards the photomultiplier tube (40).< /SDOAB>
