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.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 83 words
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, characterized in that 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.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 83 words
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, characterized in that 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.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
The radiation image storage panel as claimed in claim 1, in which said pigment is one having a body color ranging from blue to green.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 36 words
The radiation image storage panel as claimed in claim 2, in which said pigment is at least one selected from the group consisting of ultramarine blue, cobalt blue, cerulean blue, chromium oxide and TiO 2 --ZnO--CoO--NiO.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 17 words
