title: Technique for using films accidentally exposed to light.
abstract: Light-exposed films cannot be used clinically because, after processing, they are completely black. Two methods are described in which light-exposed films could be used clinically with application of the principle of solarization: (1) as duplicating films with the use of sunlight and (2) as receptors for images of foliage with the use of sunlight. Light-exposed duplicating films could be used as receptors for images of foliage through use of sunlight exposures.
