A Quick Guide on Various Radiographic Film

Hariette A.W.

Types of Radiographic Film Screen Film – the most widely used IR in radiology. Characteristics of Screen Film: Contrast – most manufactures offer screen-film with multiple contrast levels. High contrast produces a very black and white image, where as a low-contrast image is more gray.- The difference of the density of the radiograph.Latitude – the range of exposure techniques that produced an acceptable image.• Bigger Grains – low contrast.• Smaller Grains – high contrast. Speed – is the sensitivity of the screen film combination to X-rays and light large grain emulsions are more sensitive than small-grain emulsions. Crossover- is the Click Here To Read More
