摘要:
Disclosed is a process for preparing a radiation image storage panel having a phosphor layer containing an activated stimulable phosphor, characterized in that applying a heat treatment that can secure the content of an activator in the activated stimulable phosphor.Disclosed is also a process for preparing a radiation image storage panel having a layer of a stimulable phosphor layer activated with an activator, wherein a stimulable phosphor matrix layer is formed, and thereafter the activator is diffusion added to the layer to form a stimulable phosphor layer.
摘要:
Disclosed are a method for converting radiographic image which comprises the steps of:(a) storing radiation energy-corresponding to a radiographic image in a stimulable phosphor of a panel comprising a stimulable phosphor-containing layer,(b) scanning the layer with a stimulating ray to release the stored energy as a fluorescence, and(c) detecting the fluorescence to form an image, wherein the stimulable phosphor is represented by the following formula:(M.sub.1-x.M.sup.I.sub.x)X.aM.sup.II X'.sub.2.bM.sup.III X".sub.3 :dBwherein M represents either Cs or Rb; M.sup.I represents at least one of alkaline metals selected from the group consisting of Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs; M.sup.II represents at least one divalent meal selected from the group consisting of Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn, Cd, Cu and Ni; M.sup.III represents at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Cd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Al, Ga and In; B is an activator which is at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Eu, Tb, Ce, Tm, Dy, Pr, Ho, Nd, Yb, Er, Gd, Lu, Sm, Y, Tl, Na, Ag, Cu, Mg, Pb, Bi, Mn and In; X, X' and X" each may by the same or different and represents a halogen atom selected from F, Cl, Br and I; provided that all of the X' atoms are the same halogen atoms; and x, a, b and d are numerals in the range of 0.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.1, 0.ltoreq.a.ltoreq.1, 0.ltoreq.b.ltoreq.0.5 and 0.ltoreq.d.ltoreq.0.2, respectively, and a radiation energy storage panel having a stimulable phosphor-containing layer characterized in that the stimulable phosphor comprises the compound having the above formula.Also, disclosed is an alkali halide phosphor essentially free of Eu as an activator, characterized in that it contains oxygen.
