Abstract:
A method for forming radiographic image comprising the steps ofcapturing a radiographic image by a flat-panel detector,reading out the radiographic image from the flat-panel detector as image signal,modulating intensity of a laser light beam by the image signals,exposing a silver halide photographic light-sensitive material having a silver halide emulsion layer to the modulated laser light beam by scanning, andprocessing the silver halide photographic light-sensitive material by a roller transportation automatic processor,wherein a photographic characteristic curve of said silver halide photographic light-sensitive material processed by said processor has a gamma value, .gamma..sub.1, of a straight line connecting a density point of fog+0.5 and a density point of fog+2.5 of from 2.7 to 3.5 and a gamma value, .gamma..sub.2, of a straight line connecting a density point of fog+0.05 and a density point of fog+0.5 of from 0.8 to 1.3.
