  • Patent number: 4835397
    Abstract: A radiation image storage panel comprising a support and a phosphor layer provided on the support which comprises a binder and a stimulable phosphor dispersed therein, characterized in that the support part shows a deflection at a level ranging from 10 to 25 mm and the panel surface-side part containing said phosphor layer shows a deflection at a level ranging from 115 to 150 mm, said deflection being defined by a vertical distance from an imaginary plane horizontally extended from a flat board to an end of an object in the form of a sheet when the object is placed on the board, the end of which is overhung by 150 mm from the board.

  • Patent number: 4728798
    Abstract: In a radiation image storage panel comprising a support, a phosphor layer containing a stimulable phosphor and a binder, and a protective film superposed in this order, the improvement in which the thickness of the phosphor layer at the edge on at least two sides being opposite to each other is less than the mean thickness of the phosphor layer and the density of the stimulable phosphor at said edge is higher than the mean density of the stimulable phosphor in the phosphor layer.
