Tuesday, May 27 Question of the Day NAVLE® Clinical Sciences VTNE® VTNE® NAVLE® Clinical Sciences VTNE® Which factor contributes to making an x-ray film come out too gray? Excess scatter radiation Vibration in the Potter-Bucky diaphragm Static electricity Uneven temperature in developing tanks Prolonged exposure time Submit Answer Correct. You chose {selectedText}. Incorrect. You chose {selectedText}, but the correct answer is {correctText}. Too much scatter (i.e., from radiographing a thick body part more than 10 cm without a grid) can cause gray films. If developing film and the temperature in the tanks is uneven, look more for uneven bands and/or reticulation on the film. Static electricity production (from very low humidity) can cause artifacts on the film (e.g., linear dots, a tree pattern). A light leak into the dark room, or accidentally turning on the lights while undeveloped film is out, would make a gray, fogged film.
