摘要:
A photostimulable phosphor of which the emission intensity at the stimulation wavelength of 550 nm is higher than the emission intensity at the stimulation wavelength of 600 nm, characterized in that said phosphor is a divalent europium activated barium fluorobromide containing as codopant samarium, and wherein the terminology barium fluorobromide stands for an empirical formula wherein (1) a minor part of the barium (less than 50 atom %) is replaced optionally by at least one metal selected from the group consisting of a monovalent alkali metal, a divalent alkaline earth metal other than barium, and a trivalent metal selected from the group consisting of Al, Ga, In, Tl, Sb, Bi, Y, and a rare earth metal selected from the group consisting of Ce, Pr, Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu, (2) a minor part (less than 50 atom %) of the bromine is replaced by chlorine, and/or iodine, and (3) wherein fluorine is present stoichiometrically in a larger atom % than bromine taken alone or bromine combined with chlorine and/or iodine.
摘要:
A method of erasing energy stored in a photostimulable Eu.sup.2+ doped alkaline earth halide phosphor medium, wherein in said method after imagewise exposure of said medium to penetrating radiation and read out of stored energy by photostimulation with light in the wavelength range of 430 to 550 nm, said phosphor medium is exposed in a single erasure step with light mainly within the 370 to 530 nm range containing two distinct or separate emission bands, one of which is peaking at or near 400 nm and the other at or near 500 nm.
摘要:
Method of eliminating the effect of afterglow on a radiation image read out of a photostimulable phosphor screen. For each pixel the amount of afterglow generated by previously scanned pixels in the same line of pixels is determined and subtracted from the digital signal representation of that pixel.
