X-ray films in hospitals are typically stored in a designated area, often within a darkroom or a specialized film storage room, to prevent exposure to light. They are usually organized in file folders or boxes labeled with patient information, date, and type of exam for easy retrieval. Some facilities may use digital storage systems where X-ray images are digitized and stored electronically in a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), allowing for more efficient access and sharing among medical staff. Proper environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity control, are also maintained to preserve the integrity of the films.

It's important to check the expiration date on the packaging and to monitor storage conditions to ensure film quality.
