Photothermographic emulsions sensitive to ultraviolet radiation can be coated on both sides of polymeric film which is inherently absorptive of the ultraviolet radiation, preventing crossover effects in cassette loading of the film.

Radiographic thermographic imaging film

Industrial radiographic systems having low grainines and high information density may be constructed with intensifying screens sandwiching radiation sensitive elements having emulsions wherein the average size of the silver halide grains is less than 0.4 micrometers.

Industrial X-ray system

Photothermographic systems have not been useful in combination with X-ray purposes because of low speed, poor resolution and poor contrast. A particularly designed photothermographic element in combination with a rare-earth intensifying screen provides a high quality, fast, high resolution photothermographic radiographic system.
