Density Brightness Flashcards
The same image quality attribute but are used and defined differently
Density / brightness
Relates directly to the amount of exposure received by the image receptor
Density and brightness
Describes images displayed on the film
Amount of blackening in the film
Density
Density is the result from the development of the exposed _______ from film’s emulsion
Silver bromide crystals
Is equal to the logarithim to the base 10 of light incident (Io) on the film to light transmitted through the film (I1)
Density (optical density)
Images displayed on a computer monitor
Amount of luminance
Brightness
Density value must be within human visibility (OD = ______ )
0.25 to 2.50
Controlling factor of density
mAs
Factors that affect density not the brightness
Film / screen system
Processing
Contrast value for film / screen system can be taken through ______
Sensitometry
Degree of difference in density / brightness levels between areas
Contrast
Sensitometry can be measured through
Average gradient
Gamma
Higher value means high contrast
Average gradient
Steeper the slope , higher that contrast
Gamma
Difference in density / brightness between adjacent values are great
Achieve with use of low kVp
High contrast
