Improved radiographic screen construction

摘要

The present invention relates to (1) a method for manufacturing a radiographic screen comprising the steps of (a) providing a first element comprising a carrier having deposited thereon a releasable curable resin layer, (b) contacting the curable resin layer of the first element with a phosphor-containing layer, wherein the phosphor-containing layer is either self-sustaining or deposited upon a support and emits light in response to irradiation with X-rays, (c) curing the resulting assembly, and (d) removing the carrier, and (2) a radiographic screen comprising (a) a substrate, (b) a phosphor-containing layer, wherein the phosphor emits light in response to irradiation with X-rays; and (c) a cured topcoat wherein the cured topcoat comprises at least 25% by weight of one or more thermoplastic film-forming polymers and up to 75% by weight of a crosslinked resin.
