What should be the temperature to store x-ray films?

The optimal storage temperature for x-ray films is crucial to ensure their integrity and performance. A temperature range of 10-25 degrees Celsius is recommended because it minimizes the risk of film fogging and maintains the sensitivity of the films. Storing x-ray films at this temperature reduces the likelihood of degradation that can occur when films are kept in excessively warm or humid environments. This range helps in preserving the films' chemical properties and ensures that their diagnostic quality remains uncompromised over time.

The other temperature ranges provided either exceed this optimal range or may introduce the risk of deteriorating the film emulsion, leading to potential issues with image quality during radiographic examinations.
