Intraoperative Polaroid roentgenograms.
The introduction of a new Polaroid film (TPX) prompted an evaluation of all Polaroid films that are available, and a comparison with Kodak Xomat film was done both in the experimental mode and the clinical situation. Type TPX shows excellent definition but is still an experimental film. All the other Polaroid films (Types 52, 57, and TPX 10 x 8) produce images in twenty seconds. This is really the only advantage over the conventional Kodak X-Omat KS film processed as an x-ray film.
