Should image receptor holding devices be recommended to reduce radiation exposure?

What will be an ideal response?


Yes. Use of a film holder ensures that the patient's fingers or thumb will not receive radiation exposure from holding the film in the mouth. Film-holding devices also stabilize the film and may help the operator align the beam, possibly resulting in a reduction of retake radiographs.
