The purpose of x-ray film is to capture an image made when you are exposed to carefully controlled x-rays, so your physician can visualize some aspects of yuor insides.
If the x-ray film is fogged, the image will be black.
x-ray film
Lead appears white in an x-ray image. Its density prevents the x-ray beam from reaching the x-ray film leaving that part of the film unexposed (white).
The patient has to be in betwee the X-ray source and the film, so that a ''picture'' of the shadows made by the X-ray can be taken.
X ray film was produced much like the film for visible light. Silver halide suspensions were spread on the backing material.
A panoramic (Panorex) is the dental x-ray where the film is out of the mouth. It is a form of x-ray tomography. The film is replaced by an digital receptor on modern machines.

"Plain film" and "plane film" refer to the same thing in radiology, which is the traditional method of capturing X-ray images on a flat sheet of film. This type of X-ray imaging is being replaced by digital radiography, which provides quicker image acquisition and easier storage and sharing of images.
Before further imaging, a scout film is obtained to detect any obvious pathology. For example, obtaining a KUB (kidneys, ureters, bladder plain-film x-ray image, as a scout film) before an IVP (intravenous pyelogram, x-ray image of the urinary tract after an iodine contrast medium has been injected into the bloodstream.).
When the film is taken front to back, with the back being against the film, it is anteroposterior (AP).
The purpose of an x-ray technicians job is to ensure that all x-ray technology is same an not harmful to the patient or doctor in any given situation, so as to ensure no problems occur.
