• Investigators reported inconsistent results of rel. E response. • E.g.: for EBT3 Brown et al (2012) used synchrotron mono-chromatic x-rays and found up to 3% dose over-response ( ) at low E (25-35 keV) while Massillon-JL et al (2012) reported under-response up to 13% for 50kVp beams. 97. 0 = rel bq k rel f

• It became apparent that manufacturing and compositional changes do take place, that are not always accompanied by updates to the film model or label (!!!)
