  • Title: The role of the darkroom in radiograph quality control.
    Author: Wolfgang L.
    Journal: N Y State Dent J; 1998; 64(6):26-9. PubMed ID: 9707980.
    Abstract:
    Quality is key to being able to read radiographs. If it is lacking or poor, it is impossible to make a proper diagnosis. This article describes simple techniques and provides answers to problems encountered in the production of quality radiographs, such as, darkroom management, correct safelights, fresh chemistry and clean equipment. It includes a problem-solving guide to causes and solutions for film marks, density and drying, as well as a simple method for evaluating when to change chemical solutions. Using these techniques should greatly improve quality without a large expenditure of time or money.
