Faster radiographic film

["Gibbs, S Julian" <s.julian.gibbs@vanderbilt.edu>]

Faster radiographic film not only lowers dose.  It also permits 

shorter exposure times, reducing the likelihood of patient movement 

during exposure, and producing sharper images.

I have no data on Kodak's pricing for this film.  However, when 

they introduced a faster film for dental intraoral radiographs some 

twenty years ago, there was no price increase.
