For daylight systems use, which of the following should be checked and reported?

• A. Light leaks
• B. Film artifacts
• C. Improper loading of cassettes
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

In daylight system use, focus is on image quality and safety by catching anything that can degrade a radiograph. Light leaks allow stray light to fog the film, reducing contrast and making it harder to discern details. Film artifacts can appear from processing or handling issues and may mimic pathology or obscure true structures. Improper loading of cassettes can cause misalignment, double exposures, or incomplete exposure of the film edge, all of which compromise the diagnostic value. Because any of these problems can affect interpretation and patient care, they all should be checked and reported. All of the above.
