Abstract
Thermally developable materials that comprise a support have an antistatic backside layer that includes a quaternary ammonium salt. The same or different backside layer can also include another antistatic agent such as conductive metal particles or conductive polymers. These thermally developable materials include both thermographic and photothermographic materials that can be suitably imaged to provide images useful for medical diagnoses.
