Blue-sensitive film for radiography with reduced dye stain

A radiographic silver halide film comprising a support having first and second major surfaces,

• said radiographic silver halide film having disposed on said first major support surface, one or more hydrophilic colloid layers including a first silver halide emulsion layer, and on the second major support surface, one or more hydrophilic colloid layers including a second silver halide emulsion layer,
• said first and second silver halide emulsion layers having essentially the same composition and comprising a blend of silver halide grains, said blend comprising:
• blue-sensitive tabular silver halide grains that have an aspect ratio of from about 20 to about 30, a grain thickness of from about 0.10 to about 0.14 μm, and comprising at least 95 mol % bromide and from about 1 to about 3.5 mol % iodide, based on total silver halide in said emulsion layers, substantially all of said iodide being present in an internal localized portion of said blue-sensitized tabular silver halide grains that from about 1.7 to about 85 volume % of said grains wherein 100% volume represents the surface of said blue-sensitive tabular silver halide grains, and
• green-sensitive tabular silver halide grains that have an aspect ratio of from about 25 to about 35, a grain thickness of from about 0.08 to about 0.12 μm, and comprising at least 95 mol % bromide, from about 0.5 to about 1.5 mol % chloride, and 0 to about 1 mol % iodide, based on total silver halide in said emulsion layers,
• wherein the molar ratio of silver in said blue-sensitive tabular silver halide grains to the silver in said green-sensitive tabular silver halide grains is from about 3:1 to about 5:1, and
• wherein said blue- and green-sensitive tabular silver halide grains in said first and second silver halide emulsion layers are dispersed in a hydrophilic polymeric vehicle mixture comprising from about 0.8% to about 1.2% of deionized oxidized gelatin, based on the total dry weight of said polymeric vehicle mixture.
