Abstract
Abstract In a radiation image storage panel comprising a support and a phosphor layer which comprises a binder and a stimulable phosphor dispersed therein and is colored with a colorant, the improvement which comprises said colorant is a pigment capable of absorbing a portion of stimulating rays for the stimulable phosphor and said phosphor layer contains a dispersing agent of at least one fatty acid ester selected from the group consisting of sorbitan fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters and polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters.
