Radiographic elements exhibiting reduced crossover

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract of the Disclosure, A radiographic element is disclosed having a support capable of transmitting blue light and coated on each of two opposite major faces of said support, a silver halide emulsion layer capable of forming a latent image in response to exposure to blue light. Interposed between at least one of the latent image forming emulsion layers and the support is a blue absorbing silver iodide emulsion layer exhibiting at temperatures below 25°C an absorption transition wavelength that is bathochromically displaced by at least 20 nm as compared to the absorption transition wavelength of B phase silver iodide.
