Here's a not-so-straightforward answer!.

X-ray films are negative type films, because increased exposure results in increased density!.

With that said, however, you will want to scan them as a positive, so that they look the same when preserved in digital format as the actual X-ray does!.

So, what you really need is a positive scanner!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
