Errors in radiographs happen often. Which term is an imaging error:
  1. Oldfield films
  2. Crossed films
  3. Light films
  4. Pressed films
Explanation
Answer: C - Errors in radiographs happen often. The terms light films, overbent films, dark films, and artifact are terms that describe errors in imaging. Light film is caused by incorrect distance, low milliamperage, and low density. Overbent films appear as if the film is cracked if the patient bites the film. Too much milliamperage causes dark films and it fails to expose. Artifact refers to objects in the film that were introduced by the patient, such as jewelry.
