X-ray film should be stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent degradation and fogging. It's best to keep the films in a vertical position, in boxes or containers that protect them from physical damage and dust. Additionally, films should be stored at a stable temperature, ideally between 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F), and handled with clean hands or gloves to avoid contamination. Proper labeling and organization are also important for easy retrieval and tracking.
