How frequently should a sensitometry strip be performed?

  1. Weekly

  2. Monthly

  3. Daily

  4. Yearly

The correct answer is: Daily

A sensitometry strip should be performed daily because it is essential for monitoring the performance of the imaging system and the consistency of film processing. By conducting this test every day, radiologic technologists can quickly identify any variations in film speed, contrast, or processing conditions that may affect image quality. Daily sensitometry helps ensure that the radiographic equipment is operating within the optimal parameters and that any adjustments needed for film processing are made promptly, therefore maintaining high standards of patient care and safety. Regular daily checks provide immediate feedback on any potential issues, allowing for timely corrections before they impact diagnostic imaging.
