Abstract
A radiographic image conversion panel includes: a support; and at least one photostimulable phosphor layer provided on the support, wherein at least one layer of the photostimulable phosphor layers is formed by a photostimulable phosphor, and an amount of an activation metal atom at an end of a photostimulable phosphor crystal and an amount of an activation metal atom in the vicinity of the support satisfy a specific formula.
Claims3
A radiographic image conversion panel comprising:
- a support;
- and
- at least one photostimulable phosphor layer provided on the support,
- wherein at least one layer of the photostimulable phosphor layers is formed by a photostimulable phosphor represented by a following general formula (1), and
- a density of activation metal atoms at an end of a photostimulable phosphor crystal and a density of activation metal atoms in the vicinity of the support satisfy a following formula 1:
- 0≦(the density of the activation metal atoms at the end of the photostimulable phosphor crystal)/(the density of the activation metal atoms in the vicinity of the support)<1, and
- the general formula (1) is expressed by
- M1X.aM2X′2.bM3X″3:eA (1)
- wherein the M1 is at least one kind of alkali metal selected from a group consisting of Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs, the M2 is at least one kind of bivalent metal atom selected frown a group consisting of Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Zn, Cd, Cu and Ni, the M3 is at least one kind of trivalent metal atom selected from a group consisting of Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Al, Ga and In, each of the X, the X′ and the X″ is at least one kind of halogen selected from a group consisting of F, Cl, Br and I, the A is at least one kind of metal atom selected from a group consisting of Eu, Tb, In, Ce, Tm, Dy, Pr, Ho, Nd, Yb, Er, Gd, Lu, Sm, Y, Tl, Na, Ag, Cu and Mg and each of the a, the b and the e represents a numeric value in a range of 0≦a<0.50, 0≦b<0.5 and 0<e≦0.2.
