摘要:
Photothermographic materials are coated with thermally developable imaging layers on both sides of the support. Such materials can be arranged in association with one or more phosphor intensifying screens capable of providing emission at a predetermined wavelength in imaging assemblies. These imaging assemblies can be exposed to X-radiation and thereby form a latent image in the photothermographic material that can eventually be heat developed and used for medical diagnosis. The photothermographic materials contain an opaque material that acts as a crossover control agent that absorbs radiation at the predetermined wavelength, for example at 300 to 450 nm, and has limited absorption at higher wavelengths. When the photothermographic material is heated, the opaque material loses its opacity. Additional crossover control agents, such as UV-absorbing compounds, can also be added to the support or to an antihalation layer.

摘要:
An ultra-high-speed radiographic imaging assembly (at least 900 system speed) is useful especially for pediatric radiography to provide images with improved contrast and sharpness and reduced fog. The imaging assembly includes a symmetric film having a speed of at least 400 that includes at least two silver halide emulsion layers on each side of a film support that comprise tabular silver halide grains. The imaging assembly also includes two fluorescent intensifying screens wherein the pair of screens has a screen speed of at least 400 and the screens have an average screen sharpness measurement (SSM) value greater than reference Curve A of FIG. 4. The screens can have a support that includes a reflective substrate comprising a continuous polyester phase and microvoids containing inorganic particles dispersed within the polyester phase.
摘要:
Thermally developable compositions, such as photothermographic emulsions, include certain stabilizing polycarboxylic acid compounds and ascorbic acid or reductone reducing agents. These compositions can be used in thermally developable materials such as photothermographic materials to reduce changes in Dmin, Dmax, and photospeed upon storage. Such materials can have thermally developable imaging layers on one or both sides of the support and be arranged in association with one or more phosphor intensifying screens in imaging assemblies. These imaging assemblies can be exposed to X-radiation and thereby excited to form a latent image in the photothermographic material that can eventually be used for medical diagnosis.

摘要:
Methods and apparatus for rapidly removing stored energy from (i.e., erasing) a reusable photostimulable storage phosphor screen use a first source of electromagnetic radiation which primarily outputs a wavelength or wavelengths of about 577 nanometers to about 597 nanometers, and a second source of electromagnetic radiation which primarily outputs a wavelength or wavelengths in the infrared region. Exposure to the second source of radiation may occur either after, or simultaneously with, exposure to the first source of radiation. During exposure to the first source of electromagnetic energy, ultraviolet radiation is filtered out so that none reaches the phosphor screen, or a first source is selected which does not output substantially any ultraviolet radiation. The first source of electromagnetic radiation erases the phosphor screen to a homogenized quasi-erased state. The second source of electromagnetic radiation erases the phosphor screen from the homogenized quasi-erased state to a fully or nearly fully erased state. The first source of electromagnetic radiation may be a sodium vapor lamp which also functions to remove residual images. Residual images may also be removed by exposing the phosphor screen to a source of electromagnetic radiation which outputs a wavelength or wavelengths including at least one of infrared and near-infrared, and a reduced amount of charging wavelengths. The process may include filtering any visible light having a wavelength below red light emitted from the second source of radiation.

摘要:
Portal localization radiographic elements and a process of confirming the targeting of a beam of X-radiation of from 4 to 25 MVp using the portal radiographic elements are disclosed. The X-radiation is directed at a subject containing features that are identifiable by differing levels of X-radiation absorption. After a first X-radiation exposure a shield containing a portal is placed between the subject and the source of X-radiation. X-radiation is directed at the subject through the portal. In each instance the X-radiation leaving the subject impinges on a metal screen, causing it to emit electrons, and the electrons impinge upon a fluorescent screen, causing it to emit light, creating during the first and second exposures first and second superimposed latent images in the radiographic element. A processor is employed to convert the latent images to viewable silver images from which intended targeting of the X-radiation passing through the portal in relation to the identifiable features of the subject is realized. The processor relies on attenuation of an infrared beam of a wavelength from 850 to 1100 nm by the radiographic element for activation, and at least one of the hydrophilic colloid layers of the radiographic element contains particles having an index of refraction in the wavelength range of from 850 to 1100 nm that differs from that of the hydrophilic colloid by at least 0.2 to create a specular density capable of attenuating the infrared beam and activating the processor.
