The radiographic image conversion panel for mammography includes a
phosphor layer formed on a rectangular substrate having first and second
pairs of two parallel sides, and sealed with a moisture-proof protective
film. The phosphor layer is positioned on the substrate such that a
distance from at least one side of the first pair to an adjacent end of
the phosphor layer is shorter than a critical bonding length being a
shortest bonding length long enough to provide a predetermined level of
moisture-proof effect and distances from two sides of the second pair to
adjacent ends of the phosphor layer are not shorter than the critical
length. A seal bonding layer is formed in areas of the second distance,
and on a side surface having the at least one side or on the side surface
and a rear surface of the substrate. The phosphor layer may be formed in
a recess formed in the substrate.
