Imaging plate emits ''prompt luminescence'' when a radiation enters. T
he ratio of photo-stimulated luminescence intensity from latent image
to prompt luminescence intensity depends on the type and energy of inc
ident radiations. The ratio is smaller for the radiation with larger s
topping power such as alpha-particle.
