In an intensifying screen composed of a support, a fluorescent layer disposed on the support and a protective layer disposed on the fluorescent layer, the fluorescent layer is composed of one or more phosphors selected from the group consisting of a terbium activated rare earth oxysulfide phosphor, a divalent europium activated alkali earth metal fluorohalide phosphor and a silver activated sulfide phosphor, and the protective layer is a light absorption layer which absorbs a part of light emitted by the fluorescent layer.
Claims4
A radiographic intensifying screen composed of a support, a fluorescent layer and a protective layer disposed in this order wherein said protective layer has a fluorescent layer side surface adjacent the fluorescent layer and an outer surface oppositely disposed from the fluorescent layer side surface and said fluorescent layer comprises one or more phosphors selected from the group consisting of a terbium activated rare earth oxysulfide phosphor, a divalent europium activated alkali earth metal fluorohalide phosphor and a silver activated sulfide phosphor, wherein light absorption material has been coated onto or dyed into the portion of the protective layer adjacent the fluorescent layer side surface thereof where said light absorption material absorbs a part of the light emitted by said fluorescent layer and where the portion of the protective layer adjacent said outer surface thereof is free of said light absorption material.
