EFFECTS OF WARM TEMPERATURE ON SOME SENSITOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF X-RAY FILMS
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
The quality of images produced by x-ray films are adversely affected by high temperatures. This usually happens when the climate temperatures values under which films are stored exceeds the storage conditions of the manufacturer specification. The adverse effect of storage conditions resulting from high temperatures on the sensitometric properties of base and fog and speed of Kodak Ekta speed x-ray film have been investigated for 12 months. Characteristics curves were constructed using manual processing. The highest optical density (OD) for base plus fog and the lowest responds of the film (speed) was recorded in the month of March. The responds of the film can be optimize by constantly monitoring storage temperatures to ensure that films are not processed above manufactures specification of storage temperature. The findings from this study could be of clinical relevance to diagnostic centers where storage conditions under which x ray films are stored are not constantly available.
