This clinical audit identified darkroom users’ compliance with the innovated manual processing film technique and evaluated it’s effectiveness in decreasing risks of repeating unnecessary x-ray shooting. The steps in the standard operating procedures of radiography, good manual processing film technique, practical protection measures and manual processing film practice in darkroom were audited. Twenty-eight participants were randomly selected. The demographic distribution is divided into, gender, semester and practice experience. Generally, of the 28 students, there were 18 who complied (64.3%) than those who did not comply (10 or 35.7%). Compliance rate was more likely probable (p=0.04) than that of the non-compliance (p=0.157). The factors affecting quality of film processing that was done by the students included film positioning technique, exposure technique, processing film technique, and film exposure to light.
