Study Notes
Components of Intraoral X-ray Film Packets
- A component that is NOT part of an intraoral X-ray film packet is the lead foil wrapper.
Purpose of Lead Foil
- The lead foil in intraoral X-ray film packets prevents backscatter radiation from reaching the film.
Film Emulsion
- The purpose of the gelatin in the film emulsion is to hold the silver halides in place.
Types of X-ray Films
- Non-screen X-ray films use the film emulsion to record the X-ray image, whereas screen X-ray films use phosphor screens to amplify the X-ray image.
Protective Black Paper
- The protective black paper in intraoral X-ray film packets prevents light exposure from reaching the film.
