Abstract
An erasing time required to erase radiation image information remaining in an image storage recording medium is calculated based on IP information supplied from an IP information reader and radiation image information read from the image storage recording medium by an image information reader. A display unit displays the erasing time and confirmative information as to whether an erasing process is to be performed or not. If the erasing process is to be performed as selected by an erasing process selector, then the erasing process is performed.
