Abstract
X-ray films are an essential and integral part of the imaging system. The behaviour of an X-ray film under the imaging conditions chosen will determine the quality of the final image. A variety of film materials is available for use and an understanding of the behaviour of these under different imaging conditions depends initially on a knowledge of their individual properties. These will be discussed in the following sections and a few examples given of how these properties relate to the required image quality.
