An intensifier foil specifically employable in mammography is provided that minimizes stationary noise and enhances topical resolution. The luminophore is composed of Gd2O2S:Tb grains, whose mean grain size lies between approximately 3.4 microns to about 3.6 microns. Approximately 5% to about 15% of the luminophore grains are larger than 6.5 microns and approximately 85% to about 95% are larger than 2 microns with the luminophore otherwise having a scattered grain size distribution. The bonding agent includes approximately 0.1 to about 0.2 weight percent SiO2 particles having a grain size of approximately 10 nm to about 100 nm. The substrate is constructed from a polyester foil having a dark pigment.
