object. Although carbon paper may absorb some of the radiation, it's not

An experiment may be beneficial. Duplicating (as closely as possible) the x-ray energy from the source (dental x-ray machine, etc.) and then seeing the effects of carbon paper on the normal results (images, etc.) when used as the blocking property in the x-ray beam.
