摘要:
A label is provided, comprising a means wherein penetrating radiation leaves a human- or machine-readable semi-permanent or permanent mark. Preferably said means is a storage phosphor. A method for using such a label for checking if an articles has been inspected by penetrating radiation and a method for using such a label as personal monitoring are also provided.
摘要:
A method has been provided of image formation, dosimetry or personal monitoring wherein said method comprises the steps of (a) storing energy in stimulable phosphors coated in one or more layers of said screen or panel; (b) converting said energy to emission energy and (c) detecting said energy, characterized in that said converting step proceeds by means of a source of pressure energy.
摘要:
A method for permanently marking X-ray screens is provided wherein a radiation curable composition containing a dyestuff is applied to an area of the surface of the screen and wherein the radiation curable composition is irradiated. The radiation curable composition is preferably a UV-curable composition.
摘要:
A method for permanently marking X-ray screens is provided wherein an area of the surface of the screen is brought in contact with a dyestuff and wherein the screen is heated. The application of the dyestuff proceeds preferably image-wise by applying a solvent based ink by an ink-jet printer.
摘要:
Method for readout of a radiation image stored in a stored energy releasing phosphor comprising the steps of :
stimulating the stimulable phosphor plate (1) with stimulating light (3) during at least one stimulation time period causing the stimulable phosphor sheet to emit stimulated light , detecting the stimulated light emitted by the stimulable phosphor plate by use of a photoelectric conversion means (13) during at least one readout time period, converting the detected stimulated light into the electrical signal representation, the method is characterised in that at least one of the readout time periods lies at least partially outside one of said stimulation time period(s). In a preferred embodiment stimulating and readout periods do not overlap while a pulsed light source is used for stimulation.
摘要:
A method of preparing a stimulable phosphor layer comprising a phosphor composed of a host or matrix compound and a dopant or activator compound or element wherein a precipitate or inclusion having a size in the range from 10 -3 µm up to 10 µm is present in said matrix compound, proceeds by the steps of (1) providing one or more crucibles containing precursor compounds for said host, said dopant and said precipitate, by increasing the temperature of said crucible(s) up to a temperature provoking evaporation of all of said precursor compounds as a vaporized latent phosphor cloud, (2) depositing said vaporized latent phosphor cloud in form of a layer onto a temperature controlled substrate, (3) followed by cooling said substrate, and (4)further annealing said phosphor layer at a temperature in the range from 35°C up to 200°C, wherein said method is characterised by performing said annealing in an atmosphere having a water content of more than 10 g per m 3 of dry air at the temperature at which annealing proceeds. In a further embodiment the temperature of the said substrate as presented in the annealing atmosphere when starting annealing, is lower than the dew point of water in said atmosphere.
摘要:
An X-ray cassette for computed radiography is provided, said cassette having a form of a hollow box comprising top and bottom, front and rear, and lateral sides, said top and bottom sides having width dimensions, between said lateral sides, and depth dimensions, between said front and rear sides, which are substantially greater than the dimensions of said front, rear and lateral sides, between said top and bottom sides, wherein said bottom side and said front,rear and lateral sides have a higher material stiffness than the top side and wherein said top side is a deformable carrier or support material, supporting a storage or stimulable phosphor sheet layer.
摘要:
A layer arrangement comprising, at least in a binderless layer thereof, one or more vapour deposited pigments like the preferred nanocrystalline β-Cu-phthalocyanine nanocrystalline dye compound has been disclosed, wherein said layer layer arrangement is, in a preferred embodiment a photostimulable phosphor plate or panel having a binderless needle-shaped photostimulable alkali metal phosphor, and, more preferably, a CsBr:Eu 2+ phosphor, showing besides a high image definition, an excellent preservation of colour stability; and wherein the thus produced binderless photostimulable phosphor screen is overcoated with a strong protective layer in order to provide ability for easy transport through a scanning module, without jamming, in a diagnostic radiographic image reading system.
