    摘要: Radiographic elements are disclosed each containing a support and, coated on the support, at least two high tabularity tabular grain emulsions. The tabular grains coated on the support exhibit a face centered cubic crystal lattice structure formed by silver bromide with a selected portion of the tabular grains additionally containing iodide substantially uniformly distributed through the crystal lattice structure in an overall concentration of at least 0.5 mole percent with the iodide concentration at any one grain site being less than 5 mole percent. The proportion of the tabular grains selected to contain iodide as well as the distribution of iodide within the tabular grains results in a reduction in pressure induced variance of radiographic imaging response as a function of applied pressure, such as that inadvertently applied during film handling and processing.

    摘要: Assemblies of double coated radiographic elements exhibiting sharply curtailed crossover and front and back intensifying screen pairs are disclosed. By choosing a front screen that exceeds a stated sharpness criterion, expressed in terms of modulation transfer factors (MTF), and a back screen and adjacent emulsion layer unit combination exhibiting a photicity at least twice that of the combination of the front screen and its adjacent emulsion layer unit an enhancement in detective quantum efficiency (DQE) is realized.

    摘要: A method of mammography imaging includes exposing a patient to a peak voltage greater than 29 kVp using X-radiation generating equipment comprising rhodium or tungsten anodes. The film used in this method comprises a cubic grain silver halide emulsion layer on one side of the support and a tabular grain silver halide emulsion layer on the other side. The cubic grain silver halide emulsion layer comprises a combination of first and second spectral sensitizing dyes that provides a combined maximum J-aggregate absorption on the cubic silver halide grains of from about 540 to about 560 nm. The first spectral sensitizing dye is an anionic benzimidazole-benzoxazole carbocyanine, the second spectral sensitizing dye is an anionic oxycarbocyanine. The cubic grain silver halide emulsion layer also includes a mixture of gelatin or a gelatin derivative and a second hydrophilic binder other than gelatin or a gelatin derivative. The cubic silver halide grains comprise from about 1 to about 20 mol % chloride and from about 0.25 to about 1.5 mol % iodide, both based on total silver in the cubic grain emulsion layer, which cubic silver halide grains have an average ECD of from about 0.65 to about 0.8 μm. Moreover, the cubic silver halide grains are doped with a hexacoordination complex compound within part or all of the innermost 95% of the grains. The film can be exposed to provide a black-and-white image having a d(γ)/d(log E) value greater than 5.

    摘要: A blue-sensitive radiographic silver halide film comprises a silver halide emulsion layer comprising predominantly tabular silver halide grains that have an aspect ratio of at least 15, a grain thickness of at least 0.1 &mgr;m, and comprise at least 90 mol % bromide and up to 4 mol % iodide, based on total silver halide. Substantially all of the iodide is present in an internal localized portion of the tabular silver halide grains that excludes the surface of the grains. The tabular silver halide grains are dispersed in a hydrophilic polymeric vehicle mixture comprising at least 0.5% of oxidized gelatin, based on the total dry weight of the polymeric vehicle mixture in the emulsion layer. The tabular silver halide grains are spectrally sensitized using a combination of spectral sensitizing dyes to provide increased speed and reduced dye stain. The dyes have maximum J-aggregate absorptions on the tabular silver halide grains of from about 380 to about 500 nm, wherein the maximum J-aggregate absorption of one spectral sensitizing dye is from about 20 to about 50 nm lower in wavelength than the maximum J-aggregate absorption of the second spectral sensitizing dye.

    摘要: An asymmetric radiographic silver halide film has two cubic grain silver halide emulsion layers on the frontside and a tabular grain silver halide emulsion layer on the backside. The cubic grain silver halide emulsion layer closer to the support also includes a crossover control agent to reduce crossover to the backside to less than 10% and is thinner than the outermost cubic grain silver halide emulsion layer. The backside of the support also includes an antihalation layer. These films are useful for imaging soft tissue as in mammography.
