Abstract
A radiographic imaging assembly has first and second radiographic silver halide films in association with two fluorescent intensifying screens. Between one set of screen and film is a neutral density filter having a density of at least 0.3 to provide with improved exposure latitude for use in various exposure conditions and equipment. The neutral density filter comprises a transparent support having a hydrophilic neutral density filter layer disposed thereon, which layer includes sufficient silver metal, colloidal carbon, or exposed and processed silver halide in a hydrophilic binder to provide the desired density. The neutral density filter is laminated to one of the screens with its hydrophilic layer in contact with the screen.
