Modern Optical Methods for the Storage of Radiographs

  • Chapter
Progress in Medical Radiation Physics

Part of the book series: Progress in Medical Radiation Physics ((PIMR,volume 1))

Abstract

Eighty-five years after the detection of the principles of radiographic diagnosis by W. C. Roentgen in 1895, the world’s annual production amounts to some 2 billion radiographs. Scaled to the environment of a medium-size hospital, this means that the x-ray examinations will amass about 200,000 films per annum, which are stored for several years.
