Study Notes

Processing Room and Design

The Processing Room is dedicated to safe and efficient handling of radiographic films.
Centrally located with access through hatches from the adjacent imaging room.
Designed to be away from damp or hot areas, ensuring a stable environment for film processing.

Darkroom Characteristics

Fully lightproof with no windows to prevent exposure to normal light.
Safe illumination is utilized instead of complete blackout to facilitate procedures.
Minimum floor area specified at 10 square meters; ceiling height should be between 2.5 to 3 meters.
Humidity maintained between 40-60% and room temperature between 18-20 degrees Celsius.

Ventilation and Heating

Requires a minimum of 10 air changes per hour for adequate ventilation.
Efficient airflow can be achieved through a high-quality air conditioning system, ensuring satisfactory working conditions.

Entrance Design

Maze type entrance allows continuous access without doors, minimizing hazards for operators.
Labyrinth entrances are painted matte black and must be at least 3 meters long with specified dimensions for accessibility.
Revolving door entrance is the most efficient option but the most expensive, offering lightproof access.

Safelight Filters

Direct Safelighting involves using gelatin sheets to safely illuminate the working surface without exposing films.
Minimum distance for direct safelight is 1.2 meters from the working surface.
Indirect Safelighting bounces light off the ceiling for general illumination, with proper matching of filters to film color necessary for effectiveness.
