Storage phosphor panel for storing image information and x-ray cassette

1. A storage phosphor panel for storing image information, comprising:

a carrier layer;

a storage phosphor layer, which is applied on the carrier layer; and

a contour for fixing the storage phosphor panel in a cassette, wherein the contour is formed by an opening in the carrier layer.

2. The storage phosphor panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the contour is configured as an autonomous part relative to the carrier layer and is connected to the curlier layer.

3. The storage phosphor panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the opening is open toward an end side of the carrier layer.

4. The storage phosphor panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the carrier layer has a region running along an end side of the carrier lever and wherein the opening is arranged within the region.

5. The storage phosphor panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the carrier layer has a region, in which no storage phosphor layer is applied, and the contour is arranged in said region.

6. The storage phosphor panel as claimed in claim 5 , wherein it has two short end sides arranged parallel to one another and two long end sides arranged parallel to one another end the contour is arranged along an end side, which is situated in the region of the carrier layer in which no storage phosphor layer is applied.

7. The storage phosphor panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the opening is a round opening.

8. The storage phosphor panel as claimed in claim 7 , wherein an upper edge of the contour is formed in frustoconical or rounded fashion.

9. The storage phosphor panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the contour and the carrier layer are made of different materials.

10. The storage phosphor panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the contour is riveted to the carrier layer.

11. The storage phosphor panel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the contour is adhesively bonded to the carrier layer.

12. The storage phosphor panel as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of contours for fixing the storage phosphor panel in the cassette.

13. The storage phosphor panel as claimed in claim 12 , wherein one of the plurality of contours is formed by means of an opening configured in the form of an elongated hole.

14. The storage phosphor panel as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the plurality of contours are arranged along the same end side of the storage phosphor panel.

15. The storage phosphor panel as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising at least one additional contour, which is configured as an autonomous part relative to the carrier layer and is connected to the carrier layer.

16. The storage phosphor panel as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the at least one additional contour is formed by means of a cutout.

17. The storage phosphor panel as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the at least one additional contour is connected to the carrier layer in an edge region thereof.

18. The storage phosphor panel as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the carrier layer and the at least one additional contour are made of different materials.

19. An X-ray cassette with a storage phosphor panel as claimed in claim 1 .
