Film types

- radiation + developer:

AgBr

crystals

that received dose are converted into

Ag-grains

- AgBr: large over-response for low

energy photons (

photo-electric effect

)

huge over-response in large fields

and at large depths

- sensitive to light (sealing)

Examples: Kodak XV-2, EDR

- radiation:

transparant monomers

opaque polymers

- “Dry” film, “self developing”

- monomers close to water

equivalent

little energy

dependence in megavolt beams

- applicable in “daylight”

- applicable in water

Examples:

EBT-XD, EBT3, EBT2,

EBT, HS, MD55
