COLOR CONTRAST RADIOGRAPHIC FILM
Abstract of the Disclosure A photographic element having at least two silver halide emulsion layers, one layer containing a colorless cyan-forming coupler which produces a negative image and the other layer containing a colored coupler which upon color development with a p-phenylene diamine developer produces a positive dye image of contrasting color to cyan, will produce a color contrast radiographic picture after exposure and development.

Description
~0~;73~1 It is normally accepted in the photographic art that a color contrast fllrn is very deslrable 7 especially ln the specirlc area of radlographyO
; A color contrast rilm according to the present invention is capable Or producine upon color development wlth p-phenylene diamine developers an image of the sub-~ect in two opposite scales of distinct colors, one negative and the other positive. Both colors are to be chosen to "create a contrast"O Contrasting colors are those colors sufficiently distinct as to be able to de-fine a distinct border to the eye when viewed next to each other. For example, the best contrasts are comple-mentary colors such as blue and yellow or other specif~c~ , combinations as blue or blue-green (cyan) and red or red-blue tmagenta).

The couplers useful to the scope of the present invention are preferably introduced into the photographic elements of the present lnvention by the dispersion tech~
nique as de~cribed for instance in U.S. 2,322,027; 2,801,170;
2,801,171; 2,870,012 and 2,991,177. Briefly, the solvent dispersion technique involves dissolving a coupler in a substantially water immiscible organic solvent and then dispersing the so-prepared solution as extremely fine drop-lets in a hydrophilic colloldal bindsr. Gelatin is the pre~erred colloidal binder, but other polymeric colloidal ~ -binder materials, known to the art3 can also be utilized.
~` Obviously, when the couplers are incorporated into the emulsion by the solvent dispersion technique, the dyes `~ derived therefrom upon color development are also con-~ ~ -tained (dispersed) in the emulsion dissolved in the substantially water-immiscible organic solvent~
It is highly desi~rable that the couplers and the dyes derlved therefrom upon color dévelopment be - hydrophobic and non-diffusing in order to hare the maximum definition quality. To thls purpose, the couplers used . ~ , .
in the present invent~on are prorided with b~ sting aliphatic chains having a total o~ at least ten carbon `~ 25 atoms.

, Sensitizing dyes Or thls type have been described in U.S. 2,503,776 and IT 493,530 and 520,746.
The couplers useful to the scope of the present invention are preferably introduced into the photographic elements of the present lnvention by the dispersion tech~
nique as de~cribed for instance in U.S. 2,322,027; 2,801,170;
2,801,171; 2,870,012 and 2,991,177. Briefly, the solvent dispersion technique involves dissolving a coupler in a substantially water immiscible organic solvent and then dispersing the so-prepared solution as extremely fine drop-lets in a hydrophilic colloldal bindsr. Gelatin is the pre~erred colloidal binder, but other polymeric colloidal ~ -binder materials, known to the art3 can also be utilized.
~` Obviously, when the couplers are incorporated into the emulsion by the solvent dispersion technique, the dyes `~ derived therefrom upon color development are also con-~ ~ -tained (dispersed) in the emulsion dissolved in the substantially water-immiscible organic solvent~
It is highly desi~rable that the couplers and the dyes derlved therefrom upon color dévelopment be - hydrophobic and non-diffusing in order to hare the maximum definition quality. To thls purpose, the couplers used . ~ , .
in the present invent~on are prorided with b~ sting aliphatic chains having a total o~ at least ten carbon `~ 25 atoms.

The materials described in Examples 1, 2, 4, Ag ;~
B and C were radiographically exposed through standard blue emitting medium speed intensifying screens. All the ex-posed samples were processed in the rapid process described in Example 11. The materials of Examples 1, 2 and 4 exhibited a better definition over the materials of Examples A, B and C. Particularly, when compared to the material of Example A, said materials appeared to have greater speed and higher contrast of the yellow positive curve.
This fact resulted also in pure colors and very pleasant images. This was emphasiæed wlth the material of Example ;~
4g in which the yellow masked coupler was introduced in a silver halide emulsion of greater speed with respect to the emulsion used for the cyan forming layer.

Claims (12)
PROPERTY OR PRIVILEGE IS CLAIMED ARE DEFINED AS FOLLOWS:
1. A photographic element for use in radiography which includes a base and at least two silver halide emulsion layers, said element characterized by the fact that 1) silver halide emulsion layers in the element may contain as couplers only colorless cyan forming couplers and yellow colored couplers, 2) at least one emulsion layer reactively associated with said colorless cyan forming coupler so as to give a negative colored cyan image upon color development with p-phenylene diamine, 3) the other of said at least two emulsion layers being reactively associated with said yellow colored coupler so as to leave a yellow colored positive image and a magenta colored negative image upon color development with p-phenylene diamine.
2. Photographic element of claim 1 characterized by having the emulsion layer associated with the colored coupler directly coated on the base and the emulsion associated with the colorless coupler coated thereon.
3. Photographic element of claim 2 characterized by having coated on the other side of the base a further emulsion layer associated with a cyan forming colorless coupler.
4. Photographic element of claim 3 characterized by having coated between the base and the cyan-colorless-coupler-containing emulsion an emulsion layer associated with a colored coupler.
5. Photographic element of claim 1 characterized by the fact that the sensitivity of the emulsion associated with the colored coupler is higher than the sensitivity of the emulsion associated with the colorless coupler by at least 2 DIN.
6. Photographic element of claim 1 characterized by the fact that the emulsion associated with the colorless coupler includes a green sensitizing dye.
7. Photographic element of claim 6 characterized by the fact that the sensitizing dye is a symmetric carbo-cyanine including a 5-phenyl-benzoxazole group having an alkylsulfonic acid group attached to the nitrogen atom in 3-position thereof.
8. Photographic element of claim 1 characterized by the fact that the cyan forming coupler is a phenolic or naphtholic coupler.
9. Photographic element of claim 1 characterized by the fact that the magenta forming coupler is a pyrazolone coupler.
10. Photographic element of claim 1 characterized by having a masked naphtholic coupler as a magenta colored coupler capable of forming a cyan dye upon color development with p-phenylene diamine developers.
11. Photographic element of claim 1 characterized by having said colorless and colored couplers dispersed in their respective layers, dissolved in water-immiscible organic solvents.
12. Photographic element of claim 1 characterized by having a magenta acutance dye included in the emulsion layer coated directly on the base of the element itself.
