Lesson Radiographic Film Flashcards
is the most common image receptor used in conventional radiography
X-ray Film
It was the first image receptor chosen by Wilhelm Roentgen when he discovered x-rays in 1895
X-ray Film
Even with advancements in digital imaging, x-ray film remains widely used due to its ____, _____ and _____
high resolution, affordability, and reliability.
Ensures consistency, sensitivity, and durability of the film.
Manufactured with vigorous quality control
Since x-ray film is light-sensitive, it must be produced and stored in a lightproof environment to prevent accidental exposure.
Manufactured in total darkness
X-ray films are designed to be
sensitive to specific wavelengths of light
helps match the film with the proper screen, ensuring optimal image quality and minimal radiation exposure.
spectral response
Film Thickness
175 – 300 µm
Thicker films are more durable and less prone to damage.
Handling properties
