A highly sensitive X-ray image instant camera has been realized based on the scintillator-and-photoreceptor conversion method for a radiation image. As compared with the routinely used screen-film combination in medical and industrial fields, a high sensitivity of nearly 10 times the X-ray method has been obtained. The experimentally made camera houses a scintillator-photoreceptor image plate of 10 X 10 cm size together with a corotoron charger as well as a toner developer, and a series of X-ray photographs with various energy conditions have become obtainable in a short time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
