2. X-ray Viewer??
Definition:
X-ray viewer or view boxes that include visible light lamps
covered by a translucent surface appropriate for observation
of medical radiographs.
 X-ray view boxes are available for a single radiograph
observation or as a multiple set (i.e. a panel) that permits the
simultaneous observation of several radiographs.

3.  For viewing the parts of body in different shades of black
and white. This is because different tissues absorb
different amounts of radiation.
 The most familiar uses of X-ray is checking for fractures
(broken bones) in human and animal.
 Sometimes chest X-rays can spot pneumonia.
 Mammograms use X-rays to look for breast cancer.

7. Film Should not be Kept for long time.
It Should not be exposed to sunlight.
There Should be thin paper between two films.
It should be held in a corner.
The packet Should be closed properly after use.
Consideration Of Viewing X-ray Film

8. Steps of Viewing X-ray
1.Radiographs are viewed with viewing box.
2.Radiograph should be viewed in darkroom.
3.Radiograph of low density need less viewing light during
reading procedure.

9. Step of Viewing X-ray (continued)
4. Radiograph of high density need more light for the reason
that view boxes should provide range of illumination level.
5. Two intensity level:
High - For viewing large film or dark areas.
Low- To see slight differences in the
radiographic image.

10. Storage of X-ray Film

11. Why Storage of X-ray Film Needed?
Film Should be protected from:
I. High Temperature
II. High relative Humidity
III. Harmful gases and fumes
IV. Radioactive source
V. Fire, Light
VI. Physical damage

12. Methods of X-ray Film Storage
By rapping paper
By X-ray film holder
By temporary X-ray film box
By specialized tissue box
By digital way.

13. Storage Artifacts
 Fog Appearance
Cause:
1. The temperature and humidity too high
2. Safe light too bright
3. Film left in

14. Storage Artifacts (Cont.)
 Strikes of increased OD
Cause:
Film not completely in processor when darkroom door.

15. Storage Artifacts (Cont.)
Static mark
Cause:
1.Static electricity
2.Pulling of film without a folder
1.Dry atmosphere
