An image reading apparatus includes an image reading portion for outputting image data of an image read, and a signal processing portion for receiving the image data from the image reading portion and outputting a signal to an external device. The signal processing portion includes an image data transmitting system for transmitting the image data from the image reading portion as is, a histogram system for producing data concerning a histogram from the image data from the image reading portion and a histogram transmitting system for transmitting the data concerning the histogram produced by the histogram system in parallel with the image data transmitting system. Alternatively, an X-ray detecting apparatus including an X-ray image detecting portion for outputting image data of a detected image may be utilized in place of the image reading apparatus.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In view of the above conventional example, an object of the present invention is to provide an X-ray image detecting apparatus and an image reading apparatus that can improve operation efficiency without forcing a load, for example, a load by producing the histogram, on the external arithmetic unit.
Other objects of the present invention will become apparent in the description of embodiments to follow.
