[Efficiency of the Thai processing solution in clinical practice].

The project was designed to study the efficiency of the Manual Processing Solution produced by Department of Radiological Technology, Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University. (Product Solution). It was divided into 2 parts. 1) to determine the numbers of satisfactory radiographs that could be produced before degradation of the solution occurred. 2) to compare the diagnostic quality of 150 radiographs processed by the Product Solution and Kodak Solution. It was indicated that in view of 50 radiographs processed during the experiment, the 120 ml. Product solution seem to be capable of processing radiographs of satisfactory quality for five days. Clinical comparison between 150 radiographs developed by the two solutions using difference developing time was indicated equal radiographic quality of both solutions during the developing time between 2-4 minutes.
