Claims
- 1. A method for reading a radiation image stored in a photostimulable storage phosphor screen
stimulating said photostimulable phosphor screen to release stimulated light and collecting said stimulated light characterised in that: said phosphor screen has a transparent outermost layer with a thickness, d, higher than 150 μm and both said stimulating and said collecting proceed through said transparent outermost layer.
- 2. A method according to claim 1, wherein said thickness, d, is such that 150 μm<d≦4000 μm.
- 3. A method according to claim 1, wherein said transparent outermost layer is coloured with a colorant that selectively absorbs stimulating radiation.
- 4. A method according to claim 1, wherein said stimulating proceeds with light having a wavelength higher than 600 nm and said thick outermost layer is a blue filter.
- 5. A method according to claim 2, wherein said transparent outermost layer is coloured with a colorant that selectively absorbs stimulating radiation.
- 6. A method according to claim 2, wherein said stimulating proceeds with light having a wavelength higher than 600 nm and said thick outermost layer is a blue filter.
- 7. A photostimulable phosphor screen comprising a photostimulable phosphor and a transparent outermost layer with a thickness, d, higher that 150 μm.
- 8. A stimulable phosphor screen according to claim 7, wherein said thickness, d, is such that 150 μm<d≦4000 μm.
- 9. A stimulable phosphor screen according to claim 7, wherein said transparent outermost layer is coloured with a colorant that selectively absorbs stimulating radiation.
- 10. A stimulable phosphor screen according to claim 7, wherein said stimulating radiation has a wavelength higher than 600 nm and said thick outermost layer is a blue filter.
- 11. A stimulable phosphor screen according to claim 7, wherein said screen further comprises a support.
- 12. A stimulable phosphor screen according to claim 8, wherein said transparent outermost layer is coloured with a colorant that selectively absorbs stimulating radiation.
- 13. A stimulable phosphor screen according to claim 8, wherein said stimulating radiation has a wavelength higher than 600 nm and said thick outermost layer is a blue filter.
- 14. A stimulable phosphor screen according to claim 8, wherein said screen further comprises a support.
