• ‘Film contrast’ is the inherent ability of a film to show for a given change in film exposure.
• The ‘multi-film’ technique may be used when one radiograph film does not have enough to produce a satisfactory radiograph of a specimen.
• The film processing step in which the undeveloped silver bromide is removed from the film emulsion is called:
• Use of a slower speed film improves the definition of the radiograph because the slower film:
• A radiograph is made using film X with an exposure of 10 mA-min. Film density obtained in the area of interest is 1.0. If it is desired to achieve a density of 2.0 in the area of interest, what exposure is required? (Log relative exposure = 1.1 for a density of 1.0 and 1.62 for a density of 2.0)
• A good Cobalt-60 shot is made on a 7.6 cm (3 inches) steel casting using an exposure time of 10 minutes and a source-to-film distance of 91.5 (36 inches). If it is necessary to change the source-to-film distance to 61 cm (24 inches), what exposure time would produce a similar radiograph if all other conditions remain the same?
• A radiographic exposure with 3700 GBq (100 Ci) source of Ir-192 using source to film distance of 60 cm results in a radiation intensity of 0.12 Gy/h (11.8 R/h) and a radiographic density of 2.5. The intensity of radiation needed to obtain the same density when the source to film distance is changed to120 cm is:
• A 7.6 cm (3 inches) thick test specimen is radiographed with a source having size of 1.3 cm (1/2 inch), the film is placed in contact with the test specimen. The source to film distance is 40.6 cm (16 inches).The geometric unsharpness obtained is:
• If an exposure time of 60 seconds and source to film distance of 365.7 m (1200 feet) is necessary for a particular exposure, what exposure time would be needed for an equivalent exposure if the source- to-film distance is changed to 457.2 m (1500 feet)?
• A radiograph is made using film X with an exposure of 10 mA-min. Film density in the area of interest is 1.0. If it is desired to achieve a density of 2.0 in the area of interest, what exposure is required? (Log relative exposure = 1.1 for a density of 1.0 and 1.62 for a density of 2.0)
