FILM FACTORS Flashcards
The study of the relationships between the intensity of exposure of the film and the blackness after processing.
SENSITOMETER
Such measurements are used to describe the relationship between OD and radiation exposure
CHARACTERISTICS CURVE/ H&D CURVE
This relationship named after Hurter and Driffield
CHARACTERISTICS CURVE/ H&D CURVE
Where large changes in exposure results in small changes in OD
TOE AND SHOULDER
Is the region in which properly exposed radiograph appears
STRAIGHT LINE PORTION
A device that measures OD
DENSITOMETER
Is the amount of overall blackness produced on the image after processing
RADIOGRAPHIC INTENSITY
Is the OD that is inherent in the base of the film.
BASE DENSITY
Is the development of silver grains that contain no useful information
FOG DENSITY
States that the OD will be the same if the mAs value is constant
