Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
A radiation image storage panel comprising a support made of a plastic film or a paper material and a stimulable phosphor layer provided on the support, wherein a fibrous conductive material is contained in at least a portion of said radiation image storage panel, and wherein said fibrous conductive material is in the form of a whisker of K 2 O·nTiO 2 or Na 2 O·nTiO 2 , where n is an integer from 1-8, which is treated with a material selected from the group consisting of C, Zn, O, SnO 2 , InO 2 and a mixed crystal of SnO 2 and InO 2 , said whisker having an average diameter of 0.1 to 1.0 μm and an average length of 5-50 μm.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
