Notch in the Film

You must have noticed a 'notch' in most of the CT films we use. What is the purpose of this notch in a CT / XR film?


Ans: This so called notch is seen only in a 'single sided' = ' single coated' film, where the emulsion is coated only on one side of the film, and to help identify the emulsion side of the film a notch is given in the top right hand corner. Once the film is kept with notch is on our top-right, the emulsion side is nearer to us. This side should be made in contact with the intensifying screen while mounting into a cassette for XR. 


Of course while mounting films on to the lobby, the notch is usually should be on the top-right hand corner.
