Abstract
Film fog is a common cause of x-ray film artifact. The authors report an unusual source of film fogging in the darkroom--seen in three consecutive radiographs of two different patients--the exposure of film to the low light emission of a fluorescent commercial adhesive bandage worn by the technologist. Heightened awareness of the effects of these bandages will help avoid creation of this film fog artifact.
