<p>This invention provides a method for image formation for a silver salt photothermographic dry imaging material, which can provide a high-quality image in a small-size and low-cost manner even under an environmental variation and is good in uneven density even in thermal development under a low-humidity environment. The method for image formation comprises applying a laser beam to a heat development photosensitive material with a scanning exposure part comprising a semiconductor laser, a polygon mirror, and an imaging lens, formed of a resin, comprising at least one of an f? lens and a cylindrical lens, and then thermally developing the exposed material to record an image. The method is characterized in that the thermal development photosensitive material comprises a support and a photosensitive layer, comprising an organic silver salt, a silver halide, a binder, and a reducing agent, provided on the support and the reducing agent is a compound represented by the following general formula (RD1): [Chemical formula 1] General formula (RD1)</p> |
