Abstract

A light sensitive silver halide photographic material for the use of X-ray photography, wherein the effective contrast characteristics of the photographic material can be changed as required for the type image being exposed, as a function of the number and disposition of fluorescent intensifying screens. The photographic material has a support carrying first and second emulsion layers on each side thereof. The first layer has a maximum density and sensitivity higher than that of the second layer; the second layer has a density of not more than 0.2 when exposed from the side of the first layer with sufficient irradiation to give the first layer a density of 1.0; and the slope connecting two points corresponding to densities of 0.8 and 1.3 above the fog or baseline on a characteristic curve of the first layer is more than the slope of a line connecting two points of 0.3 and 0.5 above the fog or baseline on a characteristic curve of the second layer.
