Abstract:
A stimulable phosphor sheet for a radiation image recording and reproducing method comprising the steps of recording a radiation image as a latent image, irradiating the latent image with stimulating rays to release stimulated emission, and electrically processing the emission to reproduce the radiation image, comprising partitions that divide the phosphor sheet on its plane to give plural sections, and stimulable phosphor-incorporated areas placed in the sections wherein the stimulable phosphor-incorporated areas have a light-scattering length of 20 to 100 &mgr;m for the stimulating rays and a light-absorption length of 1,000 &mgr;m or longer for the stimulatined emission, while the partitions have a light-scattering length of 0.05 to 20 &mgr;m for the stimulating rays and a light-absorption length of 1,000 &mgr;m or longer for the stimulated emission, under the condition that a ratio of the light-scattering length of the stimulable phosphor-incorporated areas to that of the partitions is 3.0 or more.
