Previous darkroom shielding requirements for medical x-ray film-assumed that the film should not be exposed to diagnostic x-ray radiation levels greater than 2 microGy (0.2 mR) for the life of the film. Modern medical x-ray films are much less sensitive to ionizing radiation, with most films showing at least an order of magnitude less sensitivity than previously assumed. Conversely, these same films when loaded in cassettes using modern intensifying screens exhibit an order of magnitude greater sensitivity when these cassettes are exposed to ionizing radiation. These data suggest that protection of modern medical x-ray film, stored in a darkroom, may require less shielding than previously assumed. Conversely, film loaded in a cassette will require greater shielding.
