With the advent of recent developments in film manufacturing and experience with photographic filters, the possibility that the traditional x-ray darkroom may no longer be necessary, has been raised. The authors present their experiments using various light filters and film and suggest that with the use of various combinations of lights, films and small tabletop film processors now on the market the darkroom is indeed no longer necessary. Consequently, the elimination of the expense and space for planning darkrooms in new facilities, or replacing them in existing facilities, is a feasible possibility at this time.
