Abstract:
A silver salt photothermographic material comprising on at least one side of a support at least two light-sensitive layers and at least one light insensitive layer, the light-sensitive layers comprising organic silver salt grains, a light-sensitive emulsion containing light-sensitive silver halide grains and a medium, a reducing agent and a binder, wherein at least one of the light-sensitive layers contains a silver-saving agent andwherein the photothermographic material after being subjected to imagewise exposure and thermal development at 123Â° C. for 13.5 sec. exhibits an average contrast of 2.0 to 6.0 within the density range of 0.25 to 2.0 on a characteristic curve of the photothermographic material after imagewise exposure and thermal development.
