Écran qui, placé contre un film pour rayons X, augmente l'activité de ceux-ci sur la couche sensible. (Il modifie le niveau d'énergie des rayons.) 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9cran%20renfor%C3%A7ateur
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Les écrans renforçateurs se comportent comme un écran de scopie : ils s'illuminent sous l'effet des rayons X et ce rayonnement lumineux va lui-même produire une image sur le film photographique. Dans ces conditions il suffit d'une quantité de rayons X moindre pour obtenir une radiographie, ce qui permet de diminuer le temps de pose nécessaire et, de là, la dose d'irradiation. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9cran%20renfor%C3%A7ateur
