Chromatoroentgenography Conducted by Means of Medical X-ray Color Film

Abstract

In order to simplify the troublesome procedure of chromatoroentgenography described in the previous method (Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 1969, 98, 213), the medical X-ray color film was produced for trial and used. The film was coated with emulsion containing magenta coupler on the front side, and cyan and yellow couplers on the back side. The exposure dose for this X-ray antihalation color film was almost three times that for usual X-ray film. No remarkable difference was observed on the image quality between the usual roentgenogram and chromatoroentgenogram. The processing time was almost half or less than that for the ehromatoroentgenogram taken with usual X-ray film. When applied to human body, this method provides more information than the normal roentgenography does.
