Abstract
An image storage device includes a substrate including a plurality of voids and a septum disposed between the voids, and cells including a storage phosphor powder within the voids. In an embodiment, a computed radiography apparatus includes an image storage device, a stimulating radiation device to generate stimulating radiation, and a photosensor to detect light. In another embodiment, a method of forming an image storage device includes providing a patterned substrate that includes a plurality of voids and a septum disposed between the voids, adding a storage phosphor powder into the voids of the patterned substrate to form cells, and applying a topcoat layer that is substantially free of the storage phosphor powder.
