[filmscanners] Re: X rays was Digital PIC

["Arthur Entlich" <artistic-1@shaw.ca>]

One other reference from Kodak:

  It is therefore possible for films to be significantly fogged by
repeated exposures of less than 1 milliroentgen each but totaling 5
milliroentgens or higher. So when you travel within the United States,
requests for visual inspections should be unnecessary -- unless more than
five inspections are encountered with the same film or when you carry
very high-speed films. If you carry any very high-speed films, request a
visual inspection. In general, it is a good idea to avoid repeated
exposure of your film to x-rays.

I don't know if this paragraph actually makes sense or not.  They state
five exposures of under 1 milliroentgen can lead to a total of 5
milliroentgens or higher...  I don't know how X-rays are measured
cumulatively, so I'm not sure if this is possible the way they explain
it, or not.
