Abstract

Localization radiographic films containing rhodium-doped, cubic grain, high silver chloride emulsions can be used in radiographic imaging assemblies comprising intensifying screens for therapy imaging. The average silver halide grain size is from 0.20 to about 0.30 &mgr;m, and they comprise at least 80 mol % chloride based on total silver. These films provide colder image tones and reduced processing non-uniformities.
