Patent ID: 7514697

Claim:
A system for reading out X-ray information stored in a storage phosphor plate, the system comprising: a storage phosphor plate comprising a storage phosphor layer for the storage of X-ray information; and a substrate layer onto which the storage phosphor layer is applied, said substrate layer comprising a fibre composite which is made from a synthetic material reinforced with fibres in the form of a woven fabric; a device for conveying or holding the storage phosphor plate in an essentially planar position; and a reading head for reading out the X-ray information stored in the storage phosphor plate while the storage phosphor plate is being conveyed or held in the essentially planar position, wherein the device for conveying or holding the storage phosphor plate comprises a holding plate to which the storage phosphor plate is clamped and held in the essentially planar position; and wherein at least one surface of the fiber composite, to which the storage phosphor layer is applied, has thickness variations less than ±100 μm in relation to a desired thickness.
