| 1. An apparatus for reading out X-ray information of an X-ray image stored in a storage phosphor layer, comprising:
an irradiation device for irradiating the storage phosphor layer with stimulation radiation;
a detection device for collecting emission radiation which the storage phosphor layer emits as a result of the irradiation
by means of the stimulation radiation, the irradiation device and the detection device being rigidly associated with one another;
an actuation device for producing a relative movement between the storage phosphor layer on the one hand and the irradiation
device and the detection device on the other hand; and
an acquiring unit for acquiring an average speed of the relative movement, the average speed being acquired between at least
two relative positions which the storage phosphor layer takes relative to the irradiation device and the detection device.
