Method and apparatus for recording and reproducing a radiation image

摘要: A radiation image is recorded on a stimulable phosphor and the reproduced by utilizing stimulability of phosphor. As used an alkaline earth metal fluorohalide having high represented formula (Ba.sub.1-x M.sub.x.sup.II)FX:yA wherein M II at least one divalent selected from group consisting Mg, Ca, Sr, Zn Cd, X halogen Cl, Br I, element Eu, Tb, Ce, Tm, Dy, Pr, Ho, Nd, Yb Er, x y are numbers satisfying conditions 0≦x≦0.6 0≦y≦0.2.
