[Influence of ambient storage temperature on radiographic density and contrast of dated and outdated film].
The authors studied the influence of storage conditions of date and outdated films and the action of environment temperature over the same films. Four groups of films were studied: twenty-five outdated and twenty-five date films were under refrigeration; twenty-five date and twenty-five outdated films were under 36 degrees C temperature and 70% hygrometric for thirty days. Afterward, the films were exposed to radiation X at standardized conditions, together with an AI stepwedge penetrometer, to measure optical density; also the processing conditions were standardized. The results showed that temperature action and films date and outdated produced changes in the optical density and radiographic contrast.
