Abstract: The invention relates to a fast-processing photographic recording material for medical radiography which can be processed within 30 to 60 seconds in a film processor and which has very good photographic and physical properties. The recording material hasa) a silver application of at least 5 g/M.sup.2,b) a weight ratio of binder coating weight in the silver halide emulsion layer to silver coating weight in the silver halide emulsion layer of at least 1.1,c) a mean grain volume of the silver halide grains used of less than 0.35 mm.sup.3 andd) a process water absorption of less than 20 g/M.sup.2.

Abstract: Disclosed is a novel near-infrared absorbing dye of formula: ##STR1## wherein X.sup.1, X.sup.2 independently represents --CR.sup.8 R.sup.9 --, --S--, --Se--, --NR.sup.10 --, --CH.dbd.CH-- or --O--;n is an integer of 2 or 3;R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently represent alkyl of 1 to 10 carbons or substituted alkyl of 1 to 10 carbons;R.sup.3 represents a ring chosen from a set consisting of aryl, substituted aryl, and a heterocyclic ring of a type present in photographic emulsions;R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 independently represent hydrogen, alkyl of 1-10 carbons, substituted alkyl of 1-10 carbons, R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 taken together or R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 taken together can represent atoms necessary to form a 5 or 6-membered aliphatic ring, an aromatic six-membered ring, an aromatic 10-membered ring, a substituted aromatic six-member ring or a substituted aromatic 10-member ring;R.sup.8, R.sup.

Abstract: The invention involves a process for making photographic recording materials for radiography having comparable sensitivity and high visual resolution in the resulting x-ray images, whether used with green-emitting or blue-emitting intensifying screens. The invention also describes a process for making x-ray images by the use of such recording materials. The invention regulates the ratio of the silver halide coating's blue to green sensitivity by the addition of an aliphatic 2-amino-1-thio compound of Formula I: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 =alkyl of 1 to 5 carbons, aryl, alkylacyl of 1 to 5 carbons, H or arylacyl;R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 =H, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbons or COR.sup.7 ;R.sup.6 =H or alkyl of 1 to 5 carbons,R.sup.7 =OH, NHR.sup.8, or O-R.sup.10 where R.sup.10 is an alkyl of 1 to 5 carbons;R8, R9=H or alkyl of 1 to 5 carbons;R.sup.1 and R.sup.6 taken together represent one to three methylene groups bridging the nitrogen and the sulfur; andR.sup.1 and R.sup.

Abstract: An image capture panel includes a plurality of sensors arrayed adjacent to a substrate layer of dielectric material, and a radiation sensitive layer disposed over the sensors. The radiation sensitive layer is exposed to a first substantially uniform pattern of light radiation for partially neutralizing residual electrical charges trapped within the image capture panel. The radiation sensitive layer is then exposed to a second substantially uniform pattern of light radiation sufficient to neutralize substantially all residual electrical charges trapped within the image capture panel.

Abstract: A conductive substrate for use in a photographic element comprises a polyethylene terephthalate support coated with 0.01-10 g/m.sup.2 of a conductive layer having a low surface energy during coating and a high surface energy after coating which is the reaction product of (i) a conductive crosslinkable polymer with charge carrying groups such as sulfonic acid groups, (ii) a volatile amine and (iii) a crosslinking agent such as a polyfunctional aziridine.
