When a film packet is positioned correctly in the oral cavity, the embossed identification dot will automatically be oriented so that the convexity or concavity may be used to identify the patient's left and right sides

Indicate whether the statement is true or false

True. If the film packet was placed in the patient's oral cavity correctly, the raised portion of the identification dot (the convexity) automatically faces the x-ray tube and the source of radiation. Therefore, when the radiograph is viewed later, the identification dot may be relied on to determine which are the patient's left and right sides.
