ABSTRACT:
An intensifying screen for producing a latent image in a silver halide radiographic element when imagewise exposed to X-radiation is disclosed. The screen contains a phosphor having a hafnia host containing zirconia in concentrations higher than those found in optical grade hafnia. The phosphor can include as an activator one or a combination of titanium, rare earth, and alkali metal ions. Phosphor preparation processes are also disclosed.
