MeSH Heading: X-Ray Intensifying Screens
Tree Number(s): E07.970
Unique ID: D014963
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D014963
Scope Note: Screens which absorb the energy in the x-ray beam that has penetrated the patient and convert this energy into a light pattern which has as nearly as possible the same information as the original x-ray beam. The more light a screen produces for a given input of x-radiation, the less x-ray exposure and thus shorter exposure time are needed to expose the film. In most film-screen systems, the film is sandwiched between two screens in a cassette so that the emulsion on each side is exposed to the light from its contiguous screen.
Entry Term(s): Film-Screen Systems, X-Ray; Radiographic Intensifying Screens; Screen-Film Systems, X-Ray; Screens, Radiographic Intensifying; X-Ray Film-Screen Systems; Xray Intensifying Screens
