Double intensifying screens with screen film significantly reduce exposure time by amplifying the X-ray effect. The screens convert X-ray photons to light photons, which expose the film more efficiently than direct X-ray exposure. This reduces radiation dose to the patient while maintaining image quality.
Tap for Question
Answer
Double intensifying screen and screen film are used in extraoral radiographs to
1) Reduce density
2) Reduce contrast
3) Reduce exposure time
4) Reduce secondary radiation
