Intensifying screens are used in extraoral radiographic cassettes to reduce exposure time and dose for patients. DPT stands for Dental Panoramic Tomograph. Intra-oral film packets contain lead foil to stop the x-ray beam from exposing the film and causing unwanted exposure after exposing the film. Silver bromide is used in dental radiography as the coating on unexposed film which absorbs x-rays to produce an image. Radiographic monitoring badges should be checked regularly by an authorized company to check staff exposure.
