摘要:
High performance radiographic films exhibit visually adaptive contrast when imaged in radiographic imaging assemblies comprising an intensifying screen on both sides. These films having a single silver halide emulsion on each side of a film support and are free of particulate dyes that are conventionally used to control crossover. In addition, the films can be rapidly processed to provide the desired image having visually adaptive contrast, that is the upper scale contrast is at least 1.5 times the lower scale contrast. Thus, dense objects can be better seen at the higher densities of the radiographic image without any adverse sensitometric changes in the lower scale densities. These films are useful for general-purpose radiographic imaging using a wide variety of exposure and processing conditions.

The composition includes one or more ascorbic acid developing agents and is essentially free of hydroquinone and similar derivatives. It comprises a sulfur-containing compound represented by one of the following Structures I, II, III and IV:
M 1 S-R-CH(NH 2 )-COOM 2 I
M 1 S-R 1 -COOM 2 II
R 2 -S-S-R 2 III
R 3 HN-R 4 -SM 1 IV
wherein R is a divalent aliphatic linking group having at least 1 carbon atom in the chain, R 1 is phenylene or an unsubstituted alkylene having 1 or 2 carbon atoms, R 2 is a monovalent aliphatic group having at least 2 carbon atoms and comprising a -CH(NHR 3 )-COOM 2 or -(C 1 -C 3 )alkylene-CH(NHR 3 )-COOM 2 group, R 3 is hydrogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms or phenyl, R 4 is an alkylene group, a cyclohexylene group, or a phenylene group, and M 1 and M 2 are independently hydrogen, an alkali metal or ammonium ion or methyl group.

The present invention provides an overcoat for a photographic element that allows for appropriate diffusion of photographic processing solutions. The overcoat comprises 10 to 50% by weight of a enzyme-degradable biopolymer and 50 to 90% by weight of hydrophobic particles (by weight of dry laydown of the entire overcoat). An enzyme is applied to the element before, during, or after conventional photoprocessing. According to one embodiment of the invention, the photographic element can be exposed and processed using normal photofinishing equipment, with no modifications, to provide an imaged element together with a protective, water-resistant layer. The invention also provides a packaged photographic processing composition comprising an enzyme.
摘要:
An radiographic imaging system for making a radiograph by a radiography apparatus using a photographic combination of a silver halide photographic material having light sensitive layers on both sides of the support and an intensifying screen is disclosed, wherein the photographic material exhibits a cross-over of not more than 15%, a specified point gamma value within the specified density range on the characteristic curve when the photographic combination is exposed to X-ray, and wherein the radiography apparatus conducts making a radiograph under the condition that a distance between a focal point of an X-ray tube and the photographic combination is 1.0 to 3.0 m and a distance between an object and the photographic combination is 0.2 to 1.5 m.
摘要:
Low silver black-and-white photographic elements, such as radiographic films, can be processed quickly using a two-stage process in which black-and-white development is carried out in the first stage for up to 30 seconds, and such development continues along with fixing in the second stage for up to 60 seconds when a fixing composition is added. Both stages are carried out in the same processing container.
摘要:
An element capable of forming a silver image is disclosed containing insufficient radiation-sensitive silver halide grains to render the element detectable by an infrared sensor. The element has been modified to increase infrared specular density by the inclusion of, in a hydrophilic colloid dispersing medium, particles (a) being removable from the element during a rapid access processing cycle, (b) having a mean size of from 0.3 to 1.1 µm and at least 0.1 µm larger than the mean grain size of the radiation-sensitive grains, and (c) having an index of refraction at the wavelength of the infrared radiation that differs from the index of refraction of the hydrophilic colloid by at least 0.2.
