Radiology

Chapter 7 & 8

TermDefinition
Duplicating film A photographic film similar to x-ray film. Exposed by the action of infrared and ultraviolet light rather than by x-rays.
Emulsion The gelatinous coating on radiographic film containing silver halide crystals.
Halide A compound of a halogen with another element or radical.
Intensifying Screen Plastic sheet coated with calcium tungstate or rare earth fluorescent salt crystals. Salts glow when exposed to radiation, giving off a blue or green energy of each x-ray.
Occlusal Radiograph Radiograph produced by placing film against the incisal or occlusal plane. Stabilizes by biting down.
Pedodontic Film Size No. 0 film. Designed for small children
Silver Halide Crystals Sensitive to radiation and when exposed to x-rays, they retain the latent image.
Latent Image The invisible image produced when the film is exposed to x-ray photons. Image remains invisible until the film is processed.
Acidifer A chemical (acetic acid) in the fixer solution that neutralizes the alkali in the developer solution and stops further action of the developer.
Developing Agent Elon and hydroquinone, substances that reduce the halides in the film emulsion to metallic silver. Elon brings out the details, and hydroquinone brings out the contrast in the film.
Selective Reduction Chemical change that takes place within the film emulsion during development. During this change, the nonmetallic are separated from the silver halide, leaving a coating of metallic silver on the film emulsion while the bromide is removed.
Identification Dot Small circular embossed mark on the corner of intraoral x-ray film. Used to determine the patient's right or left side when viewing radiographs.
Latent Image A chemical (acetic acid) in the fixer solution that neutralizes the alkali in the developer solution and stops further action of the developer.
Fixing Agent Sodium thiosulfate, also known as "hypo" or hyposulfite of sodium. It is one of several chemical ingredients in the fixer solution and functions to remove all unexposed and any remaining undeveloped silver bromide grains from the emulsion.
Automatic Processor Converts the invisible latent image on the dental x-ray film into a visible permanent image.
Oxidation The process during which the chemicals of the developing and fixing solutions combine with oxygen and lose their strength.
Safelight Special filtered light that can be left on in the darkroom while films are processed.
