Since both systems are a little different with artifacts I have broken them up into two separate posts. Increased density E (increased exposure to x rays) E =↑ Exposure (x rays) This […]
Today is covering analog/film artifacts that are of decreased density of the final image. Note: when referring to artifacts, the correct term is density and not radiolucent/radiopaque. The latter terms are used when referring to a part of the patient seen on a radiograph. D = ↓Development This occurs when […]
