| Fixer in developer | Contamination |
| Shrinks and stiffens emulsion (hardener) | Potassium Alum |
| Dissolves chemicals for use (solvent) | Water |
| Regularly spaced scratches | Guide shoe marks |
| Bending of film | Crescent Marks |
| No X-ray exposure | Blank film |
| Oxidized solutions with air | Aerial oxidation |
| Poor screen film contact | Blurred image |
| Film stacked improperly | Pressure marks |
| Branch or treelike mark | Static |
| Film age expired | Fog |
| Which layer of intensifying screen is closest to the film? | Protective layer |
| Which layer of the intensifying screen is the farthest from the film? | Base |
| What is the term generally used to describe the emission of light from a substance as a result of external stimulation? | Luminescence |
| What is the term specifically used to describe the emission of light during and after external stimulation? | Phosphorescence |
| What is the term specifically used to describe the emission of light during stimulation only? | Fluorescence |
| What is measured by comparing an exposure without an intensifying screen to an exposure with an intensifying screen? | Intensification factor |
| What does the term image noise describe? | An image with noticeable quantum mottle |
| What is the outermost layer of radiographic film called? | Supercoat |
| What are the physical imperfections in the emulsion layer of radiographic film called? | Sensitivity Specks |
| What kind of radiographic film is designed to respond specifically to x-radiation and not to the light emitted from intensifying screens? | Direct exposure film |
| When a film has the emulsion coated on both sides of the base versus one side of the film is referred to as: | Double exposure film |
| What influences the speed of radiographic film? | The number of silver halide crystals in the emulsion and the size of the silver halide crstals |
| What is achieved when the color of light emitted by an intensifying screen matches the color of light a film responds to? | Spectral matching |
| What is the purpose of the intensifying screen? | To reduce the amount of exposure |
| Increasing the thickness of the phosphor layer: | Increases speed, decreases recorded detail, and decreases patient dose |
| What is used to assess screen film contact? | Wire mesh test tool |
