What is the aim of film processing in oral and maxillofacial radiology?
What is the aim of film processing in oral and maxillofacial radiology?
- To ionize the silver halide molecules
- To expose the dental radiograph to x-ray photons
- To produce an invisible image on the dental radiograph
- To convert the invisible latent image on the film into a visible image (correct)
What happens to the latent image at the time of exposure?
What happens to the latent image at the time of exposure?
- The bromide ions escape from the emulsion
- The unexposed silver halide molecules form the latent image
- The metallic silver atoms turn into bromine gas
- The silver halide molecules absorb x-ray photons and undergo ionization (correct)
What constitutes the latent image in film processing?
What constitutes the latent image in film processing?
- Metallic silver atoms and bromine gas
- Silver specks formed in crystals without silver halide molecules
- Exposed ionized silver halide molecules and unexposed silver halide molecules (correct)
- Emulsion and bromide ions
