Device for reading out information stored in a memory layer and X-ray cassette and X-ray table

Disclosed is a device for reading in a storage layer (15) stored information as well as a x-ray cassette and an X-ray table proposed in which a shielding means (22) is contained. This shielding means (22) serves for shielding a reading means (10) against a Abspeicherstrahlung (25). The reading means (10) comprises a receiving means (12) for receiving an emission radiation (17) containing an image of (15) information stored in the storage layer. Instead of the shielding means (22), it is also possible to provide a conversion means (29) for converting the Abspeicherstrahlung (25) is used in a conversion radiation (28) having a low energy than the Abspeicherstrahlung (25).
