Image storage assemblies comprise thin metal screens adjacent phosphor storage screens. The thin metal screen is from 0.01 to 0.75 mm in thickness when composed of copper and from 0.05 to 0.4 mm when composed of lead. These image storage assemblies can be used in radiographic portal imaging. The thi...
