X-RAY INTENSIFYING SCREENS INCLUDING A MICRO-PRISM REFLECTIVE LAYER FOR EXPOSING X-RAY FILMS

摘要

An intensifying screen for exposing X-ray film includes a screen support backing, a luminescent layer having a luminescent material that emits light in the presence of X-rays, and a reflective layer disposed between the luminescent layer and the screen support backing, the reflective layer including a plurality of micro-prisms that reflect light emitted by the luminescent material. An X-ray film cassette includes at least one intensifying screen and a housing surrounding the at least one intensifying screen.
