Description

An X-ray intensifying screen is a component used in radiography to enhance the efficiency of X-ray film by converting X-ray energy into visible light. It consists of a thin layer of phosphor material, typically composed of rare earth metals such as gadolinium, lanthanum, or yttrium, embedded in a support base. When X-rays strike the intensifying screen, they are absorbed by the phosphor material, causing it to emit visible light. This emitted light exposes the X-ray film, resulting in a more efficient capture of the X-ray image. X-ray intensifying screens help reduce patient radiation dose and exposure time by amplifying the X-ray signal, allowing for shorter exposure times and lower radiation doses during radiographic examinations. They are commonly used in combination with X-ray cassettes to produce high-quality radiographic images in medical imaging departments, clinics, and hospitals.
