PROCESSING THE RADIOGRAPH - Columbia University
11 PROCESSING THE RADIOGRAPH . Neill Serman. Sept. 2000 W + P. Chapter 6 THE STAGES IN THE PRODUCTION OF THE RADIOGRAPH Many dentists who utilize manual PROCESSING , intentionally over expose patients and under process the RADIOGRAPH in an attempt to save time resulting in radiographs that are inferior in diagnostic quality because of incomplete developing. When an X-ray film has been exposed, it must be processed in order to produce a permanent visible radiographic image that can be kept without deterioration for a number of years. PROCESSING transforms the latent image into a visible image. The term for the several procedures that collectively produce the visible, permanent image is PROCESSING and consists of developing, rinsing, fixing, washing and drying procedures 1.
Rapid processing solutions are used for emergencies and endo where time is of the essence. The film is developed for 15 - 20 seconds and fixed for a similar period of time. The films do not have the same amount of contrast and will discolor with time so they must still be fixed and washed correctly to minimize the discoloration.
