Impact of the Processing Methods on the Performance of the X-ray Film Screen Combinations

چکیده
In ISO9236-1 there is no description of the processing method for the sensitometric determination of an x-ray film by the film-screen combination method. But it states that when the film-screen combination system is being determined, either manual processing or automatic processing can be adopted. The different processing procedures will result in wide different sensitivities and average gradients. This paper describes the sensitometric determination of the film-screen combination systems of four types of medical x-ray films by the bootstrap method with manual processing and automatic processing. Their sensitometric results show that there are certain difference in the performance of the film-screen combination systems between the manual processing and the automatic processing. With the manual processing, the resultant sensitivity is faster and average gradient steeper, and min. density and max. density almost same with the automatic processing. These results are identical with the results obtained in the sensitometric determination by visible light exposure.

A study of densitometry comparison among three radiographic processing solutions
ABSTRACT Background: The radiographic image accuracy depends on the X-ray film information visibility. Good visibility is found by good contrast. Radiation exposure parameters (kVp, mAs) and film processing conditions have impact on contrast. In dentistry radiography machines, exposure time and processing procedure are set by radiographer. No optimized exposure time and process...

Abstract Background and purpose: The Commission of European Communities (CEC) has developed a guideline in which many common radiographic techniques are determined. Following these guidelines will reduce patient dose and good quality image is obtained. Noncompliance of radiographic centers with standard guidelines not only leads to reduction in radiographic image quality but also wastes reso...
متن کاملCharacterization of nanostructured SnO2 thin film coated by Ag nanoparticles
Nanostructured SnO2 thin films were prepared using Electron Beam-Physical Vapor Deposition (EB-PVD) technique. Then Ag nanoparticles synthesized by laser-pulsed ablation were sprayed on the films. In order to form a homogenous coated of SnO2 on the glass surface, it was thermally treated at 500°C for 1 h. At this stage, the combined layer on the substrate was completely dried for 8 h in the air...

Introduction Blue light is a part of the spectrum with the highest energy content, which can reach the retina. The damage that it can cause to the retina is called photochemical or blue-light retinal injury. For the retinal injury assessment of the photochemical and aphakic retinal hazards in the wavelength range of 300-700 nm, use of effective spectral radiance limits (W.m-2.sr-1) seems to be...
