detecting backscatter appeared on the radiograph. The reason for the image is:
a) Excessive backscatter.
b) No backscatter.
c) Excessive front scatter.
d) That the latter was placed wrongly on the front side.

a) Source side of the object.
b) Either source side or film side of the object.
c) Film side of the object.
d) Film side of the object if it is impracticable to hand place on the source side.
