Patent ID: 7226728

Claim:
A photothermographic material, comprising: a support and an image-forming layer comprising a photosensitive silver halide, a non-photosensitive organic silver salt, a reducer, and a binder on at least one surface of the support, wherein the photothermographic material further contains a dye having a half breadth of 100 nm or less at a maximum absorbance peak, 50 mass % or more of a binder in an outermost layer on a dye-containing surface is a polymer latex, and the dye is a metal phthalocyanine dye represented by Formula (PC-1): wherein, M represents a metal atom; R 1 , R 4 , R 5 , R 8 , R 9 , R 12 , R 13 , R 16 independently represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent; at least one of R 1 , R 4 , R 5 , R 8 , R 9 , R 12 , R 13 and R 16 represents an electron-attractive group; and R 2 , R 3 , R 6 , R 7 , R 10 , R 11 , R 14 , and R 15 each represent a hydrogen atom.
