Which of the following is a possible cause for a low density radiograph
(light film?)
1. Cold developer
2. over exposure
3. Improper safety light
4. Excessive developing time
Radiology Answer: 1
Overexposure typically results in a darker film, not a lighter one. An improper safety light or excessive developing time would not directly cause a low density radiograph. It is essential to maintain the correct temperature and time in the developing process to achieve a diagnostic image quality. A cold developer will not fully develop the film, leading to a lighter, less detailed image.

2. Low speed film
3. Motion
4. Scattered radiation
Radiology
Answer: 4
Mottling is seen due to scattered radiation.
