For daylight systems, which items should be checked and reported?

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

Answer: (A)

In daylight systems, maintaining the integrity of the film path and handling process is essential for diagnostic quality. Light leaks in the daylight loading area can fog film, which lowers contrast and hides detail. Film artifacts point to problems in handling, processing, or cassette cleanliness that can create false images or obscure real structures. Improper loading or unloading of cassettes can lead to misalignment, double exposure, or physical damage to the film, all of which degrade image quality or require repeat exams. Because any of these issues can compromise the accuracy of radiographs, they should be checked and reported. All of the listed items should be addressed.
