Section: claims

1. A radiation image storage panel, comprising a heat generating body for drying assembled in a radiation image storage panel using a light stimulable phosphor. 2. The radiation image storage panel according to claim 1, wherein said heat generating body for drying is provided in contact with a support of the radiation image storage panel. 3. The radiation image storage panel according to claim 1, wherein said heat generating body for drying is provided in contact with a light stimulable phosphor layer of the radiation image storage panel. 4. The radiation image storage panel according to claim 3, wherein said heat generating body for drying is provided in contact with a support of the radiation image storage panel. 5. The radiation image storage panel according to claim 1, wherein said heat generating body for drying also functions as a support of said radiation image storage panel. 6. The radiation image storage panel according to claim 1, wherein said heat generating body for drying also functions as a protective layer of said radiation image storage panel. 7. The radiation image storage panel according to claim 6, wherein said heat generating body is a transparent substance. 8. The radiation image storage panel according to claim 1, wherein said heat generating body comprises a thin film formed by vapor deposition or sputtering of a metal oxide of electrical resistor, or a coated film of a coating material containing carbon black or metallic fine powder dispersed or suspended therein. 9. The radiation image storage panel of claim 8, wherein heat generating body comprises the thin film of metal oxide, and said metal oxide is indium oxide or indium tin oxide. 10. The radiation image storage panel of claim 8 wherein the heat generating body comprises said coated film containing carbon black dispersed or suspended therein.
