Abstract

The characteristics of the rare earth phosphors intensifying screen (LM-6, Grenex-8) as compared with $CaWO_4$ intensifying screen had been studied utilizing several common x-ray films, and found the following results. 1. Compared with the conventional CaWO4 intensifying screen, the rare earth phosphors intensifying screen was found to be more sensitive over to 1.26-3.47 times. So the radiation exposure could be reduced to 1/1.26 -1/3.47. 2. Sharpness as well as the film speed were both increased. So the motion blurring and geometrical unsharpness could be decreased. 3. In spite of that the film speed was increased, photographic contrast was kept up. Therefore, the more ideal film of greater latitude could be obtained. 4. The effects of the rare earth phosphors intensifying screen would be much increased as using with orthochromatic x-ray films.
