Kodak EKTASCAN B/RA Medical X-Ray Film

EKTASCAN B/RA Film / 4153 is a medium speed, single coated, tabular grain, orthochromatic medical x-ray film for photography of cathode-ray (CRT) tubes. It is coated on a blue, 7-mil blue-tinted polyester support with a dyed pelloid backing which affords anti-halation protection. The film orientation is that the emulsion side is up when the notch is at the right-hand side of the top edge of the film. It is processable in existing automated processing cycles, as well as Rapid Access process cycles.

Safelight
Use a GBX-2 Safelight Filter with a frosted 15-watt bulb located at least 4 feet from the film.

Storage and Handling
Handling - Hands must be clean, dry and free of lotions, etc. Film should be handled carefully by the edges to avoid physical strains such as pressure, creasing, or buckling.

Storage - Store unexposed film at 50 to 75°F (10 to 24°C), at 30 to 50 percent RH, and properly shielded from x-rays, gamma rays, or other penetrating radiation. Keep exposed film in a cool, dry place that is properly shielded from penetrating radiation. Process as soon as possible after exposure. Processed film should be stored at 60 to 80°F (16 to 27 C), at 30 to 50 percent RH.
