Abstract:
Recently, a new film for intraoral radiography was introduced, the Kodak Insight Dental film. The manufacturer claims that this film requires a reduced exposure time compared to Ektaspeed Plus-film, whereas other relevant film characteristics remained unchanged. These claims were investigated in this study. The exposure time of the Insight-film was on average 17% less than that of Ektaspeed Plus-film upon standard manual development, and 49% less than that of Kodak Ultraspeed-film. Compared to the E-speed film, the Insight-film has an identical gradient and spatial resolution (> 10 lp/mm). Compared to the D-speed film the gradient was larger, indicating a better contrast, whereas the resolution was the same. It was concluded that the Insight Dental film can be used in intraoral radiographic diagnosis.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
