Study Notes

Intraoral X-ray Film Packets

The lead foil in intraoral X-ray film packets serves as a barrier to prevent backscatter radiation from reaching the film, reducing fog and improving image quality.

Components of Intraoral X-ray Film Packets

A component that is NOT part of intraoral X-ray film packets is the developer.

Film Emulsion

The gelatin in the film emulsion acts as a binder, holding the silver halides together and providing a smooth surface for image formation.

Types of X-ray Films

Non-screen X-ray films directly capture the X-ray image, whereas screen X-ray films use intensifying screens to amplify the X-ray energy, enhancing image quality.

Radiation Protection

The lead apron worn by patients during X-ray procedures shields their sensitive organs from scattered radiation, minimizing exposure and potential health risks.
