A cassette (1) for a storage phosphor plate (2) comprises a cassette
housing (4) with an opening (7) and a support (3) disposed movably within
the cassette housing (4), wherein the storage phosphor plate (2) lies on
the support (3). In order to simplify the structure of the cassette (1)
and of the corresponding removal mechanism, provision is made such that
the support (3) can be moved, together with the storage phosphor plate
(2) lying on top of it, through the opening (7) of the cassette housing
(4), at least partially from the inside of the cassette housing (4), and
the storage phosphor plate (2) lying on the support (3) can be taken from
the support (3) when the support (3) is located, with the storage
phosphor plate (2) lying on top of it, at least partially outside of the
cassette housing (4).
