Silver salt photothermographic imaging material, and image recording method and image forming method by the use thereof

摘要

A photothermographic imaging material comprising a support having thereon a photosensitive layer comprising a photosensitive silver halide, a light-insensitive organic silver salt, a binder, and a reducing agent for silver ions, wherein the reducing agent is represented by the following Formula (S): wherein Z is a group of atoms necessary to form a non aromatic ring of 3 to 10 members; Rx is a hydrogen or an alkyl group; each Ro' and Ro" is independently a hydrogen, an alkyl group, an aryl group, or a heterocyclic group; Qo is a substituent; and each n and m is independently an integer of 0 to 2; and plural Qos may be the same or different.
