Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

[jon.oman]

This is my first 8x10 inch image, and also the first image on X-ray film.

CSX 8x10 inch Green Laditude film
Cambo Legend 8x10
Caltar II-N F5.6 300 MC
F22, 8 seconds, 80 ISO
D-76 full strength, 6 minutes, 68 degrees F.
Deep tanks were used.

The exposure was adjusted for the bellows factor.
The image was cropped to a 2:3 ratio.

And a nice one it is too!!
Try iso 200 as well if you're not going to strip one side. A different level of contrast, but seems to hold the shadows as well.

Thanks!

I did not strip my image.......

I will try 200 ISO to determine the difference.

I shoot 14x17 inch green x-ray film. I have not seen any 20x24 inch x-ray film. Does it exist????????

Jim....

This morning I ordered a box of 25 sheets of Fuji green sensitive in 14"x36" from zzmedical. Bryan was a great help and did mention that on their site where is shows 24x30, that is cm, not inches. But the 14x36 IS inches. Somewhat confusing and happy I talked to Bryan before ordering. This is the largest size they have. I also ordered a box of 100 Kodak MXG in 11x14 for $71.00. So at least from zz, there is no 20x24 inch film. They also have this expensive (only because you have to buy a case of 500 sheets) of this film as it states that the "gradation reproduction" is equal to silver halide films. Jim, have you thought about this one? Comes 14x17 for $1.50 a sheet................

That looks like a write to film, as opposed to develop out film. Never seen silver halide film that can be load in daylight..

That is a material for use in a laser-printer for making final images from digital x-ray photography, not light sensitive. You could say it is akin to printer paper, but transparent.
