RADIATION IMAGE CONVERSION PANEL AND RADIATION IMAGE READER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a radiation image conversion panel and a radiation image reader using the same with an upgraded brightness and sharpness. SOLUTION: In this radiation image conversion panel formed with a stimulable phosphor layer on a support body 1 from a columnar crystal 2 by a gas phase depositing method, an end of the columnar crystal is formed at an angle (θ)≥20°and≤80°between a perpendicular line 3 passing through the center of the crystal growth and a tangent 4 of the cross section of the crystal end. An average crystal diameter of the columnar crystal≥0.5μm and≤50μm is preferred. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
