General Advice All exposure times are standard values. It might be necessary to adjust or modify the above indicate values, depending on the type and brand of the intensifying screen and the x-ray film. If the developed radiographs turned out too light, they are underexposed. If the developed radiographs turned out too dark, they are overexposed. If pictures are too light, increase sec.by one step. If pictures are too dark, decrease sec. by one step. Do not change kV value. Darkroom conditions can also influence quality of radiographs. Check chemicals and temperature of developer (hand tank 18-20° C – Automatic processor 30-32° C).

EXPOSURE TIME TABLE FOR EQUINE PRACTICE Values are for High-Frequency X-Ray unit Atomscope TR 90/30 with orthochromatic intensifying screens (”RARE EARTH” - Gadoliniumoxybromide), G R E E N S E N S I T I V E Factor 400. In order to obtain uniform quality of radiographs, it is important to use same film- and chemical brand products consistently. Low quality film material can cause considerable image problems. All data are standard values, slight adjustments might be necessary, depending on the conditions at site. As a general rule, exposures with utilization of an X-ray grid need 2 - 3 times longer exposure times.
