Mask for viewing reduced-size radiographic film, particularly mammography film

摘要

A radiographic film mask includes a planar sheet sized for receipt on an illuminated radiographic film examination box. The mask has two opaque sections and a transparent section. The transparent section is disposed on the sheet between the two opaque sections to form a radiographic film viewing area which has an area less than the entire area of the sheet. The sheet may include semi-transparent sections which border the viewing area and interconnect the opaque portions to provide reduced transmission of light along the marginal edges of the radiographic film.
