Abstract
Disclosed is a silver halide photographic material for X-ray photography which has at least one light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer on each side of a transparent support and constitutes a radiation image-forming system in combination with two radiation-intensifying screens respectively arranged on the front and the back sides of the photographic material. The photographic material is characterized by having a crossover rate of at most 15% with respect to the light emitted from said intensifying screens, and by producing an image having a characteristic curve such that when drawn using crossed coordinates equal to each other in unit length, with diffusion density as ordinate (Y-axis) and common logarithm of exposure amount as abscissa (X-axis), the characteristic curve provides a point gamma value ranging from 2.7 to 4.2 at every point within the optical density (diffusion density) range of 1.6 to 2.0 and a point gamma value of at least 0.25 at the density point corresponding to 1/10 of the exposure amount (-1.0 on logarithmic scale) required for providing the optical density of 1.8 when sandwiched between two intensifying screens having substantially the same sensitivity, subjected to stepwise exposure and then developed with Developer (I) having the following composition at a developer temperature of 35.degree. C. for a development time of 25 seconds:
