| Title |
| Radiographic Imaging, Part 8: Film Processing ...COMING SOON! (0 credit hours) |
| Abstract |
| Film Processing is the eighth of nine modules in the Radiographic Imaging course.
This module will help you understand how film is processed in a modern automatic processor. You will learn how the quality of radiographs can be affected by your equipment and how to modify variables under your control. |

| Objectives |
On completion of this module, you should be able to do the following:
1. Define all the important terms in the module.
2. Describe what happens in the film emulsion from exposure to the x-ray beam through development and production of the radiograph.
3. Explain the basis in the film for each of the four fundamental film characteristics: film speed, contrast, latitude, and recorded detail.
4. Give examples of why different films are used for different types of examinations.
5. Explain the basic principles for safe film handling and storage and the potential effects of temperature, humidity, or exposure to light or radiation.
6. Describe how intensifying screens function and how artifacts may result from problems with film cassettes or holders.
7. Explain the importance of silver recovery. |
