Screen-Film Contact Test tools
 

Features

  • Enable fast and easy quality checks of film cassettes
  • Copper mesh embedded in plastic plate
  • Two types are available:
    • Radiography test tool 36.5 cm x 43 cm with 8 wires per inch (~3 wires per cm), 0.7 mm thick
    • Mammography test tool 26 cm x 31 cm with 40 wires per inch (~16 wires per cm), 0.26 mm thick

Poor image quality of X-ray films can be caused by film-screen contact problems in the film cassette. These problems can be determined easily by laying the mesh over the cassette and exposing the film. Blurring or distortion of the screen image across the film indicates poor film-screen contact. The screen-film contact of the X-ray film cassettes should be checked frequently to ensure image quality.
