“…1a) and irradiated with visible or X-ray irradiation (6). Unlike the photothermoplastic process, when illumination and registration are carried out simultaneously [18], the carrier is removed from the X-ray chamber after irradiation for the next step of image visualization [16,19]. After irradiation the carrier is heated up to a vicious state of the thermoplastic layer (T=68 0 C) in darkness and charged for 1,8-2,5 s with a high voltage (7,7 kV) corona charging (Fig.…”
