Abstract (en)
A radiographic silver halide film has improved processability because it includes a silver halide emulsion composed of cubic grains having a critical molar ratio of chloride, iodide, and bromide. In particular, the cubic grains comprise from 1 to 20 mol % of chloride and from 0.25 to 1.5 mol % of iodide, with the remainder being bromide. The cubic grains also have an ECD of from 0.65 to 0.8 mu m. This film is particularly useful in mammography for imaging dense soft tissue. <IMAGE>
