Abstract: Methods and apparatus that facilitate exposure and/or automatic transfer of an image recording medium from an apparatus adapted to handle the image recording medium, such as a cassette, to an image acquisition system, such as an image reader. In one exemplary implementation, a side-access cassette for handling an image recording medium is provided that facilitates the automatic transfer of the image recording medium from the cassette into an automatic loader and from the automatic loader into the cassette. The cassette may further include a radiation conversion window to attenuate radiation during high energy X-ray imaging such that the cassette and automatic loader may be employed in a variety of X-ray imaging processes and techniques. In one aspect, such a conversion window allows recording media such as phosphor plates to be exposed using source radiation incident to the cassette having energy levels on the order of MeV, which is significantly higher than that typically used to expose phosphor plates.

Abstract translation: 便于将图像记录介质从适于将图像记录介质（例如磁带盒）处理的设备的图像记录介质的曝光和/或自动传送到诸如图像读取器的图像采集系统的方法和装置。 在一个示例性实施例中，提供了一种用于处理图像记录介质的侧面存取盒，其便于将图像记录介质从盒子自动传送到自动装载器中，并且从自动装载器自动传送到盒中。 盒可以进一步包括用于在高能量X射线成像期间衰减辐射的辐射转换窗口，使得盒和自动装载器可用于各种X射线成像处理和技术。 在一个方面，这种转换窗口允许使用入射到具有MeV量级的能级的光源的辐射源来曝光诸如磷光体板的记录介质，其明显高于通常用于曝光荧光体板的能级。
