Radiation image storage panel
View Patent ↗A radiation image storage panel has a support, an energy-storing phosphor layer, and a protective sheet overlaid in order, in which the protective sheet has a 25% compression hardness in the range of 0.005 to 0.4 MPa and is releasable from the phosphor layer without giving damage to the phosphor layer.
1. A radiation image storage panel comprising a flexible support, an energy-storing phosphor layer, and a protective sheet overlaid in order, wherein the protective sheet has a 25% compression hardness in the range of 0.005 to 0.4 MPa and is releasable from the phosphor layer without giving damage to the phosphor layer.
2. A radiation image storage panel comprising a rigid plate, a flexible support, an energy-storing phosphor layer, and a protective sheet overlaid in order, wherein the protective sheet has a 25% compression hardness in the range of 0.005 to 0.4 MPa and is releasable from the phosphor layer without giving damage to the phosphor layer.
3. A radiation image storage panel comprising a rigid support, an energy-storing phosphor layer, and a protective sheet overlaid in order, wherein the protective sheet has a 25% compression hardness in the range of 0.005 to 0.4 MPa and is releasable from the phosphor layer without giving damage to the phosphor layer.
4. The radiation image storage panel according to one of claims 1 to 3 , wherein a transparent protective layer is provided between the phosphor layer and the protective sheet under the condition that the transparent protective layer is bonded to the energy-storing phosphor layer and is releasable together with the phosphor layer from the protective sheet.
5. The radiation image storage panel according to one of claims 1 to 3 , wherein the protective sheet is made of elastic material or foamed resinous material.
6. The radiation image storage panel of one of claims 1 to 3 , wherein the protective sheet is a sheet of elastic material, foamed elastic material, foamed polyurethane, or foamed polyolefin.
7. The radiation image storage panel according to one of claims 1 to 3 , wherein the protective sheet has a thickness in the range of 0.5 to 5 mm.
8. The radiation image storage panel according to one of claims 1 to 3 , wherein the protective sheet has an adhesive layer on the side facing the phosphor layer which is released together with the protective sheet when the protective sheet is released from the phosphor layer.
9. The radiation image storage panel of claim 2 , wherein both of the protective sheet and the rigid plate are larger than each of the support and the phosphor layer under such conditions that peripheral areas of the protective sheet and rigid plate extend beyond peripheries of the support and phosphor layer, and the protective sheet and the rigid plate are combined using an adhesive tape placed on the peripheral areas.
10. The radiation image storage panel of claim 3 , wherein both of the protective sheet and the rigid support are larger than the phosphor layer under such conditions that peripheral areas of the protective sheet and rigid support extend beyond periphery of the phosphor layer, and the protective sheet and the rigid support are combined using an adhesive tape placed on the peripheral areas.
