ABSTRACT:
A silver halide film for reproducing digitally stored medical diagnostic images through exposure and processing, including development, fixing and drying, in 90 seconds or less is disclosed in which onto a film support transparent to exposing radiation are coated (1) a processing solution permeable front layer unit coated on the front major face of the support capable of absorbing up to 60 percent of the exposing radiation and containing less than 30 mg/dm.sup.2 of hydrophilic colloid and less than 20 mg/dm.sup.2 silver in the form of radiation-sensitive silver halide grains and (2) a processing solution permeable back layer unit coated on the back major face of the support containing less than 40 mg/dm.sup.2 of hydrophilic colloid, silver in the form of radiation-sensitive silver halide grains accounting for from 40 to 60 percent of the total radiation-sensitive silver halide present in the film, and a dye capable of providing an optical density of at least 0.50 in the wavelength region of the exposing radiation intended to be recorded and an optical density of less than 0.1 in the visible spectrum at the conclusion of film processing. The film can be exposed by an exposure source such as a cathode ray tube, light emitting diode or laser. In one form, in processing the film one of the layer units having faster silver halide grains is oriented above the remaining layer unit while developer is circulated across the film from a jet located above the layer unit having the faster silver halide grains.
