    A lead letter B must be attached to film holders to check for backscatter radiation exposing the film. If a light image of the B appears on a dark background, backscatter protection is insufficient and the radiograph is unacceptable, requiring corrective measures and re-radiographing until satisfactory. A dark B image on a light background is acceptable.

    BACKSCATTER RADIATION

    A lead letter „B‟ with minimum dimensions 13mm (½ inch) in height and 1.5mm (1/16 inch) in
    thickness shall be attached to the back of each film holder, to determine if backscatter radiation is
    exposing the film.

    If a light image of the letter „B‟ appears on a darker background of the radiograph, protection
    from backscatter is insufficient and the radiograph shall be considered unacceptable. Corrective
    measures shall be taken and the area shall be re-radiographed till satisfactory results are obtained. A
    dark image of the letter „B‟ on a lighter background is not cause for rejection.
