Medical x-ray film, screen (A screen x-ray film specifically designed for medical diagnostic imaging applications. It is sensitive primarily to wavelengths of light emitted from an image intensifying screen or other visible light source. It is prepared as an emulsion of light and x-ray sensitive granules on one (single-emulsion film) or both (double-emulsion film) sides of a transparent film base made of cellulose acetate, polyester resin or other appropriate material. This film is not limited to use with x-ray imaging systems but can also be used in a variety of diagnostic imaging modalities using image intensifier technology or matrix formatters to output images, e.g., nuclear medicine or ultrasound.)
