MSH: Screens which absorb the energy in the x-ray beam that has penetrated the patient and convert this energy into a light pattern which has as nearly as possible the same information as the original x-ray beam. The more light a screen produces for a given input of x-radiation, the less x-ray exposure and thus shorter exposure time are needed to expose the film. In most film-screen systems, the film is sandwiched between two screens in a cassette so that the emulsion on each side is exposed to the light from its contiguous screen.,SPN: A radiographic intensifying screen is a device that is a thin radiolucent sheet coated with a luminescent material that transforms incident X-ray photons into visible light and intended for medical purposes to expose radiographic film.,UMD: Screens designed to intensify the latent image on x-ray films used in radiography. They typically consist of a thin sheet of celluloid or other radiolucent material, coated on one side with a thin layer of a suspension of dehydrated x-ray e
