Question
Answer
show The study of the relationship between from the amount of intensity from tube and amount of density on the film  
🗑
show 1. Speed 2. Exposure Latitude 3. Contrast  
🗑
What will always be on the film?   show
🗑
Equipment is needed for sensitometry? (2)   show
🗑
show Piece of aluminum with varying densities in the shape of a step wedge. Step 1- black (X-rays pass through, thinest step) Step 11- white  
🗑
show A device that is designed to expose a reproducible, uniform, optical step wedge onto a film.  
🗑
show Sensitometer  
🗑
show A device used to numerically measure the amount of blackness on the film after processing.  
🗑
show The amount of light that is actually transmitted through the film. it x 100 io ***only have to recognize formula***  
🗑
show The numerical calculation of transmitted light through a film to incident light originally striking the film. Log10 (io) (it) OD ranges 0-4 0 = white part of the image 4 = black part of an image **only have to recognize formula **  
🗑
show Increased optical density (more black) = decreased light transmittance Decreased optical density (more white) = increased light transmittance OD increases by .3 and decreases light by 1/2 OD decreased by .3 and increases light by double  
🗑
show A graph demonstrating how a film respond to a series's of increasing exposures.  
🗑
show 1. Toe 2. Threshold 3. Straight-line region/ slope/ gamma 4. Average gradient 5. Shoulder  
🗑
What is the toe of the curve?   show
🗑
What is base + fog?   show
🗑
show On any blank unexposed part of the film.  
🗑
What is the threshold of the curve?   show
🗑
What is the straight line region (slop/gamma)?   show
🗑
show 0-4  
🗑
What is the useful range of optical density on a graph?   show
🗑
What is the diagnostic range of optical density on a graph?   show
🗑
show The point on the curve where the maximum density have be produced. Most amount of black. (Dmax)  
🗑
What is average gradient?   show
🗑
What is solarization?   show
🗑
show 1. Film Speed 2. Film Contrast 3. Exposure Latitude  
🗑
show The films sensitivity to radiation, and indicated the amount of optical density produced for a given radiation exposure.  
🗑
show The point on hype sensitometric curve that corresponds to the optical density of 1.0 + B + F  
🗑
What is the speed exposure point?   show
🗑
What is film contrast controlled by?   show
🗑
show More vertical.  
🗑
show Low  
🗑
show Rise Or Y2-Y1 Run X2-X1 High number = steep slope = high contrast Low number = long slope = low contrast  
🗑
What is exposure latitude?   show
🗑
show It is achieved when radiographic densities are produced that lie within the straight-line region of the curve thus maximizing the amount of information visible.  
🗑
