  • Title: Radiographic solution contamination.
    Author: Hardman PK, Tilmon MF, Taylor TS.
    Journal: Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol; 1987 Jun; 63(6):733-7. PubMed ID: 3473399.
    Abstract:
    Contamination of processor solutions adversely affects the image quality of radiographic films. The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of developer or fixer contaminant that was necessary to produce a significant densitometric change in the base plus fog, speed, or contrast optical density readings for panoramic film. Significant differences in base plus fog (after 16 mL of fixer contaminant was added to developer), speed index (after 4 mL), and contrast index (after 8 mL) were observed in comparison with control values.
