The design of some digital sensors may affect film placement. The smaller recording dimension may cut off the roots, to help avoid this problem slightly increase the vertical angulation of the x-ray cone to capture root surfaces (1).

A two-way ANOVA test of the interactions did not reveal any statistically significant differences regarding previous radiography experience and film placement (p=0.316) horizontal angle (p=0.304) and vertical angle, (p=0.850).

The fleeting images focus upon a hired killer (Henry Fonda), but this film within a film placement is not just a compound hit-man reference.

Analyzing those movies within movies

"IWC believes that movies serve as invaluable marketing tools," says Benoit de Clerck, president of IWC NA, whose most recent film placement was in Roland Emmerich's 2012.

Lights, camera ... watches? Like it or not, we are all influenced by what we see in movies and on TV. It might be the latest catch phrase, a trendy hairstyle ... or even a watch. That's right--as Swiss watch brands become savvier about marketing and promotion, expect to see more timepieces in movies or your favourite TV shows. And Switzerland's watch companies are hoping you'll sit up and take notice

Joseph Portelli, plastics industry program manager at Fanuc Robotics America, explains why six-axis, jointed-arm, servo robots are right for IMD applications: "Six degrees of freedom provide the full articulation necessary to completely tweak the film placement. This is critical because if the location or orientation are off, pinches or wrinkles may appear in the film, which in turn may let the substrate material creep in front of the film."

While the physics and geometric principles are the same for medical and dental radiography, film sizes, film holders, exposure techniques and film placement techniques have been adapted specifically to imaging the oral cavity.
