Preferred Label : X-ray intensifying screens;
MeSH definition : 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.;
