Abstract
A method of producing a photostimulable x-ray converter for digital radiographic applications including forming a solid mixture of europium activated barium fluorohalide phosphor and a chemical compound containing an impurity ion, heating the mixture to cause the impurity ion to diffuse into the phosphor matrix, combining the treated phosphor crystals with a thermoplastic synthetic organic polymer, subjecting the second mixture to elevated pressure and temperature conditions to obtain a void free suspension and cooling the mixture to obtain a solid storage member.
