I think the answer to that is buried way deep in this thread. From what I've been able to gather, single sided films are only available in odd sizes and are way more expensive than ordinary double sided medical films. Examples would be mamography films and industrial films for radiographing welds and metal parts. My own experience is that emulsions on both sides isn't such a bad thing, but I haven't tried any single sided films.
I seem to recall that there was some 8x10 single sided green sensitive. But it's a search finding it in the thread. Probably easier to find it at the supply houses.
It's true the single sided was way more expensive for some reason unfathomable. And the reversal duplicating film was expensive too.
If you're looking at those you may as well look at Ilford. That's superb film for little extra cost. Or some of the other "real" camera film.
The cheap stuff is the double sided xray film.
I am really surprised about the fact that single-coated X-ray film is so expensive in the US. I live in Germany and get single-coated X-ray Film (for mammography) at an approximately 40% higher price than double-coated usual X-ray film (43,00 € to 30,00 € for 100 sheets 18x24cm). The only drawback is that only metric sizes are available here so I had to purchase some extra holders just for this specific film.
Here's a few I took a while back.

yeah checked out your blog man so much stuff to look at.
just wondering what x-ray film you used here.
most of the shots i see are fairly light, but this one looks like normal film, with rich blacks etc.
interestink...
also how much did it cost you to get a machinist to hook up your ektar?

The data sheet for Kodak Green X-ray film has a spectral sensitivity graph on the second to last page:

It looks like an ortho curve. I haven't found any data for the Fuji or Agfa x-ray films. I'm pretty sure the blue sensitive films have no spectral sensitizing dyes, because for blue light they wouldn't need any.
A 1904 steam engine came through town a couple months back pulling a bunch of passenger cars. I wanted to get a very slight motion blur but I didn't think it would be going so fast. I should have set up my 5X7 camera along side.
Oh well...next time?
