Described is a scintillator screen that includes a supporting layer having a phosphor dispersed in a polymeric binder disposed on the supporting layer and a barrier layer disposed on the polymeric binder. The barrier layer includes a non-moisture absorbing polymer selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate, cellulose diacetate, ethylene vinyl acetate and polyvinyl butyraldehyde. The barrier layer has a thickness of less than 1 micron. An antistatic layer is disposed on the barrier layer. The antistatic layer includes poly(3,4-ethylenedixythiophene)-poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS) dispersed in a polymer selected from the group consisting of a polyester and a polyurethane. The antistatic layer has a transparency of greater than 95 percent at a wavelength of from about 400 nm to 600 nm.

Coatings for digital detectors

There is described a method of manufacturing a digital radiography panel. The method includes providing a scintillator screen and spray coating an acrylic adhesive composition on the scintillator screen. A flat panel detector and the scintillator screen with acrylic adhesive composition are compressed together at a force of about 5 psi to about 15 psi, at an atmospheric pressure of about 0.3 Torr to about 100.0 Torr for a time sufficient to affix the flat panel detector to the scintillator screen to form the digital radiography panel.

Method of manufacturing digital detectors

Provided herein are exemplary embodiments for phosphor screen including a substrate, a stimulable phosphor layer disposed over the substrate, the stimulable phosphor layer including a stimulable phosphor material, and an adhesive layer disposed by solvent coating over the stimulable phosphor layer, the adhesive layer including solvent-coatable thermally-sensitive elastomers, where the adhesive layer has a dust adhesion of &#x2266;1 dust particles/sq.in.

Laminated storage phosphor panel with thermally-sensitive adhesive and methods of making thereof

A storage phosphor screen including a substrate; a phosphor layer disposed over the substrate; and an overcoat layer disposed over the phosphor layer, wherein the overcoat layer comprises at least one organic solvent-soluble polymer and at least one light absorbing colorant, and wherein the light absorbing colorant is dispersed within the organic solvent-soluble polymer. Also disclosed is a method of preparing a storage phosphor screen including providing a substrate; providing a phosphor solution comprising a solvent, at least one stimulable phosphor, and a binder; providing an overcoat solution comprising a solvent, at least one organic solvent-soluble polymer and at least one light absorbing colorant; forming a phosphor layer over a surface of the substrate with the phosphor solution; and forming an overcoat layer over the phosphor layer with the overcoat solution, wherein the light absorbing colorant is dispersed within the overcoat layer.
