Abstract: Silver halide photographic element comprising a support having coated thereon red-, green- and blue-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers comprising, respectively, cyan, magenta and yellow dye-forming couplers, wherein at least one silver halide emulsion layer comprises a yellow dye-forming DIR coupler having a 1,2,4-triazolyl group attached to the coupling position, said 1,2,4-triazolyl group comprising a hydrolyzable alkoxy- or aryloxy-carbonyl group attached to a benzylthio substituent on the 1,2,4-triazolyl group.Preferably, the yellow dye-forming DIR coupler is represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents an alkyl group, an aryl group or --NHR.sub.5, wherein R.sub.5 represents an alkyl group or an aryl group,R.sub.2 represents an alkyl group or an aryl group, TIME represents a timing group,n is 0 or 1,R.sub.3 represents an alkyl group or a phenyl group, andR.sub.4 represents hydrogen atom or an alkyl group.

Abstract: A medical X-ray film comprising a transparent base coated on at least one side with (a) a laminar grain silver halide emulsion and (b) a separate hydrophillic colloid layer containing a developing agent for silver halide in an amount corresponding to at least 0.5 moles per mole of the silver coated on that side of the base.

Abstract: A core-shell silver bromoiodide emulsion having an inner core portion consisting essentially of silver bromoiodide and an outer shell portion consisting essentially of silver bromoiodide, wherein said inner core portion has a silver iodide content ranging from 30 to 50 mol %, said outer shell portion has a silver iodide content ranging from 1 to 10 mol %, and the average total silver iodide content ranges from 5 to 12 mol %, and wherein the ratio between the area of the X-ray diffraction peak corresponding to said outer shell portion and the area of the X-ray diffraction peak corresponding to said inner core portion is higher than 9:1.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a silver halide photographic material comprising a support, at least one silver halide emulsion layer coated thereon, and a hydrophilic colloid layer coated on said at least one silver halide emulsion layer, wherein said hydrophilic colloid layer comprises a combination of (a) at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of non-ionic polyoxyethylene surfactants and anionic polyoxyethylene surfactants and (b) at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of non-ionic perfluoroalkylpolyoxyethylene surfactants and polyoxyethylene-modified polysiloxane surfactants.
