Process Control Technique<br />

Certain measures can be taken to reduce radiographic process variability, but<br />

they depend largely on the conditions and the requirements <strong>of</strong> the individual<br />

user. This is particularly true with respect to variations introduced by the<br />

exposing unit. Obvious causes <strong>of</strong> exposure variability, such as fluctuations or<br />

changes in line voltage, must first be eliminated, <strong>of</strong> course. The following may<br />

be <strong>of</strong> help in reducing variations in density attributable to processing <strong>of</strong> the<br />

film in an automated processor. Use the electronic thermometer with the<br />

submersible stainless steel probe to set the temperature <strong>of</strong> the developer.<br />

Use it to check for fluctuations in developer temperature; the thermostat for<br />

the developer may allow the temperature to vary by 2°F. Procedures and<br />

thermostats that will hold the temperature <strong>of</strong> the developer to ±1/5°F are<br />

available. Use a graduate frequently to check and to maintain the developer<br />

replenisher rate at that recommended for the average film density in the<br />

process. Keep processing <strong>of</strong> completely exposed film or completely<br />

unexposed film to a minimum.<br />
